From Bryan County Cemetery Book:

This familty cemetery is located in Section 30, Township 5 South, Range 12 
East and at the site of what is called Odell Springs. 

Lat:340418 Long:960245. 

We were told this area is also called McClure Springs and McClure 
Cemetery. It is on proper owned by Oscar Nichels (1987). From Durant, 
travel US Hwy 70 for 16 miles ( 2 miles east of Bokchito), turn left 
(north) onto Banty Road, go north for 4-1/4 miles, turn right (east) at 
the Banty Crossroads (there is still a church and an old store building), 
go 3 miles. The cemetery is north off of the road about 1/4 mile. It is 
fenced. 



From Submitter:

Family cemetery located on private property about 3 miles east of the 
Banty community on the north side of the road at the top of the hill.

Immediately adjacent to the west side of this cemetery is a fenced area 
with the name McClure on the fence.  No markers are seen.

This cemetery was visited and surveyed by me on May 28, 2006
