West of the intersection of N May Avenue and NW 150th Street in Oklahoma City, OK. This appears to be a seldom used cemetery with the last grave dated 1973. These graves are listed in sequence beginning at the SW corner of the cemetery because of the numerous uninscribed stones which appear to be grave markers.
