BUCHNER MEMORIAL CEMETERY
Holdenville, Hughes County, Oklahoma
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.
