We were also able to collect a few names from the cemetery before we left. The cemetery is located near Skedee, Pawnee, Oklahoma. From the statue in the middle of the main street turn South and go to the first stop sign, turn West (right) and go to the next stop sign, continue West 1 1/4 miles, turn South on the lease road and go 1/4 mi into. The cemetery is on the side of a hill on the West side of the lease road. The cemetery is fairly well maintained. These are the names we were able to transcribe on our visit: VANCE, John M., 1859-1945 Father VANCE, Mary J., 1861-1928 Mother HAYS, No other information FARRIS, Alta K., 1890-1956 FARRIS, Roy C., 1889-1968 FARRIS, Hazel, 8-7-1916, 8-11-1916 FARRIS, Baby, 4-24-1915, 4-27-1915 KEITH, Nancy P., 3-28-1836, 5-31-1929 VANCE, M.C., 6-8-1849, 5-29-1921 HARTLEY, Calvin, 1838-1914 HARTLEY, Jennie, 1854-1929 BENNETT, Jerry L., 6-24-1935, 10-25-1998 COLVIN, J.
