All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ========================================================================== HOLCOMB CEMETERY Chickasha, Grady CO, Oklahoma Holcomb Cemetery belonged to the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations and was also owned by Fannie Holcomb, Chickasaw. There are Holcomb people buried at this cemetery but they have no gravestones. It is currently owned by Mrs. Thad Smith in Norman. It is located NW of Chickasha, Grady CO, OK, on Airport Road going N on Hwy 81. It's way back in a copse of trees in a cow pasture on the right side of a house. In order to visit this cemetery a high fence must be climbed and a walk in the pasture is required. There is another fence around two plots. One plot has no gate. The other plot containing the Fitzpatrick, Maupin, and Moncrief families, must be climbed. There are two rows of barbed wire along the top of the fence. So, going in that plot is not recommended. All stones may be seen from the outside. COLEMAN, John T., Abt 1859 - 1 Nov 1934, 75 yrs, 10 mo, 3 days DOBBS, Infant, 5 Dec 1889 - 15 Feb 1890, D/O B. and L.
