Submitted by Sara Rollins SRol786334@aol.com ====================================================================== This cemetery is at 84th and Robinson Street in Cleveland County, East of Norman. Robinson dead ends, and this cemetery is at the end of the road on the N.E. corner. The land was donated by T.W. Wheelis in 1900. Roberta Rollins Tyler, Dalton Rollins and Sara Rollins took, as best we could, the names and dates of all buried there in the name of Laura Townsley Rollins who is the grandmother of Dalton, Roberta and Raymond Rollins, husband of the transcriber Sara Rollins. This cemetery has very uneven rows and was difficult to map out. Many of the stones were home made stones of concrete and over the years have weathered until they are not readable. Some may have never had any names on them. It was impossible to tell. If any of these are your family and you feel I have made a mistake please e-mail me I still have the original papers from which we took these names and dates. *********************************************************************** 1st row from north end 1.
