Abrams Cemetary Gate, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma

Turn left and go west for one and one half miles. The cemetery is on the south side of the road. I have listed the graves by row starting from the west end of the cemetery with plots proceeding from north to south. Examples: R2-4 would be the fourth grave in from the north end of row 2. R1-3 would be the third grave in from the north end of the first row at the west end of the cemetery. This small cemetery has been vandalized and some stones turned over and too heavy for me to upright.

There are only a few graves on the east end of the cemetery. This results in my guessing at row numbers past row 18. Note: The land for this East end of the cemetery was donated to the town of Asher by Mr. James J Tooley.
