BLACK CEMETERY

Pottawatomie County, OK

This cemetery is just north of Pink, OK, off of State Highway 9, located in the northwest corner of the junction of OK Road and New Hope Road.
(Named for the BLACK surname, earliest grave in cemetery)

The cemetery is well maintained, and has many unmarked stones.
Sharon Crawford and Nalora Burns canvassed this cemetery on Oct 22, 1998.

Note: Because this was the first cemetery Sharon Crawford and I canvassed together, and we had different styles in canvassing cemetaries, the portion of the cemetery Sharon transcibed, only inumerates the number of unmarked stones. I like to make note of the positioning of unmarked graves, so in the section I transcribed the stones are listed in the order I found them.
