The land for this cemetery was donated by Guy Buchner from Hughes
County. I canvassed this cemetery on May 27, 1998 (The week after
Memorial Day.) The cemetery is located north of Holdenville. From the
intersection of US 270 and Hwy 48 (Broadway of America), go north for
.2 of a mile and turn east for about 1/2 mile. The cemetery is on the
south side of the road.

This stone has a symbol on it that I do not know what is. There is a
circle
with a trigangle pointing down. Inside each cornor is a letter, F ,
C ,
and B on the bottom. Inside that is a triangle pointing up. Inside
that is
a skull and cross bones. If this symbol means something to you,
please let
me know what it means.
