Looks like this cemetery started out as a family cemetery and later grew to be a community cemetery.
This cemetery is not far off of the highway. After entering the cemetery look to the left at the hand hewn stone furniture. There are two chairs and a bird bath or a flower container on a rock pedestal. All located near the Featherston graves. This is a very well kept place of solitude. Look for three graves inside the concrete block wall, the little girl was killed in the worst school tornado in Oklahoma.
