Sec. 7, Twp.22N, Range 32W.
Cemetery is directly behind McDonald County High School east of Business 71 on Mustang Lane.
 
There was evidence of vandalism. The cemetery
underwent extensive renovation in the early 1970's, removing brush and
small trees plus sealing the ground with plastic and new stones. Steel
posts and fence were added in 1974 thru donations collected by Glen and
Ina Elliff of Anderson. The concrete walls were donated by J.D. Elliff
in the mid 1950's.
Even though this property has not been owned by the
family since the original property was put up for sale in 1902, the
family thru work and donations have maintained the cemetery. Land owners
have never contributed to the upkeep of the cemetery and have always
treated it as "someone else's land". Most notable for the upkeep during
the past 25 years have been Glen (Shorty) and Ina Elliff of Anderson;
Mike and Imogene Elliff of Pineville, Sue and Jon Lawrence of Tulsa;
Laura Chenoweth, Rubelle rickett, Ken Michelson of oklahoma
1992- wooden fence added June to duplicate style of
fence in front of the old farm house picture taken in 1892. Donated by
Rickett family plus John B. and Joseph C. Elliff, Jr. grandsons of J.D.
(Uncle Joe) Elliff
There are several unmarked stones
