This cemetery is in poor condition.... locals said it was worse  
more overgrown and was not even fenced. The Anadarko Oil company fenced it in.   
There is a large oil line running through the cemetery that busted and spilled oil 
 in the middle of the cemetery.   There are not many graves now that have readable markers.
  Most buried here died in late 1800's or early 1900's.
 There are many unmarked graves or graves that were marked with sandstone
 that are now unreadable.  The  area is very rugged.. and neglected.  

If anyone has more information please send it to me and I will add it.
