An OKGenWeb Success Story |
|
I canvassed this cemetery in 1996 and submitted the tombstone transcriptions to OKGenWeb. Although I knew how most of these people fit into our family tree, it had been over 40 years since my last visit and there were several whom I could not place. The posting, however, enabled others who know these families to find me. Pooled knowledge paints a much clearer picture than mere tombstone transcriptions, so this page is now a demonstration of how the information taken from tombstones can be combined with that from other sources.
The topographical map shows this as the Sweat Cemetery. It's a small family plot that was located on the Willard P. SWEAT homestead, in Deep Fork Township. Willard's wife was Hattie FRIEND, and because most of the early burials were members of her family it has been known to many as the Friend family cemetery. Hattie's sister, Mellie FRIEND, married Richard Franklin ATTEBERRY. Becaise a number of ATTEBERRYs are buried here, it has also been known as the Atteberry family cemetery.
