About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This is one of the more prominent cemeteries in Coal County. The northern part was the original cemetery and is the burial site for several Choctaw Native Americans who settled the area when they came to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears. The tribe had poor housing that first year and many died. Many of the graves had sandstone markers which wore away and are no longer there. That part of the cemetery is mowed but no longer shows signs of Choctaw graves. The remainder of the cemetery is still in use and in excellent condition as of 2022. In that newer portion of the cemetery, the earliest death date is 1895.
