The cemetery of old Sulphur Springs was located
where the Murray County Courthouse now stands. In 1903, Platt National
Park Superintendent Joseph Swords wrote to the Secretary of Interior
asking that the cemetery be included in the new Park reservation. The
Secretary refused. The cemetery had been in use from 1893 to 1903 and had
115 graves. In 1908, the cemetery was moved to its current location three
miles north of Sulphur. There was already existing a small cemetery
at this location with about 6 tombstones.
Below, is a list of those who now rest in the
Oaklawn Cemetery who were most likely moved in 1908. There were 94 souls
interred that were moved. As Supt. Swords noted that there were 115
graves, then there are about 20 graves that were moved and buried under
the name "UNKNOWN" or, some of the tombstones are now unreadable
or had no dates of death, or, some of the graves were never moved and are
still interred on the courthouse grounds. These names are listed
with those interred in Oaklawn Cemetery.
