Sulphur Bend Cemetery
aka: Frazier Cemetery

originally in Sec. 32, T 26 R 24
364156N 0944748W

Take Highway 125 South from Fairland, to road E.201 for 3 miles to S.600 road,
then 1 miles to E.220 road then left .02 miles on right.

According to "Cemeteries of Southern Ottawa County": Sulpher Bend Cemetery was a new cemetery created by the GRDA to relocate a cemetery from Sec. 32 Twp. 26 R24, when it created Grand Lake. Two acres containing the old cemetery were transferred from the Cherokee Nation to the Ottawa County Commissioners on 8/5/1914. The GRDA bought two acres for the cemetery on 9/18/1939. The GRDA survey of the old cemetery lists 90 graves of which 20 were unidentified. The graves were relocated to the east side of the new cemetery. The cemetery association has placed concrete blocks to mark unidentified graves."

Some graves, including those of the Wards and Amma Bowen who died in 1876, are not found on the reading of the old cemetery, and the cemetery association has no record of their original location.

Special thanks to Lisa Raspberry who helped photograph these stones.

NOTICE There are approximately 78 graves that have cement blocks buried on them. Each block identifies a grave is there, but there is nothing identifying who. Here are examples.

Some stones that were broken or just plain unreadable. A couple have partial information.
Please look at these and let us know if you recognize anything.
