Coleman Cemetery

GPS coordinates: 35 19' 56N Latitude; 95 15' 21W Longitude



This cemetery is located just south of Porum, Oklahoma. It contains the remains of many of Oklahoma's pioneers. Included are the graves of Arvid E. Anderson, Leonard A. Johnson and George A. Stiner who drowned together on the 16th of February, 1916.
Several war veterans are buried here. Francis Smith was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry and Vernor Maxfield gave his life for his country in Germany.
On a lighter note, Claude Wiggins' tombstone remarks:"So many women, so little time."
