SPERRY REST HAVEN CEMETERY

The Sperry Rest Haven Cemetery was originally established in 1923 by the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows of Sperry, Oklahoma Lodge No. 69.  The name
given to the cemetery at that time was "Sperry I.O.O.F. Burial Park".  The
cemetery was opened for burials in the year 1924.

In 1941 the I.O.O.F. transferred the ownership of the cemetery to the Town of
Sperry, Oklahoma and the name was changed to "Sperry Rest Haven Cemetery".

The cemetery was originally located on 10 acres.  Since 1941 the Board of
Trustees have added approximately 40 acres.  The size of the cemetery now is
approximately 50 acres.

Sperry Rest Haven Cemetery is run by a Board of Trustees consisting of three
members.  They hold their monthly meetings on the last Monday of each month at
6:30 p.m. in the Sperry City Hall, 115 N. Cincinnati, Sperry, Oklahoma.  These
meetings are open to the public and all are invited to attend.

Information used in the creation of these documents was obtained mostly from
the records of the Rest Haven Cemetery, Sperry, Oklahoma.  Other sources of
information are the actual burial records, family histories and information
documented on Memorial Markers placed in the Rest Haven Cemetery.

It is the hope of the compilers of these documents that all information is
correct.  However, mistakes are made and we apologize for these and hope that
they will be brought to our attention so that they may be corrected.
