Further down the page, you will find obituaries of those for whom we don't have pictures of grave markers. If I have the
obituary and a picture of the marker, the obituary will be linked from the picture of the marker.If you have Microsoft Windows XP, on some of the larger obits, you will need to hold your cursor over the
obit, left click, and the obit will become full size.
I have a few markers not yet linked to our family. Since they are Spears and are in the cemetery where
our Spears are buried, I feel they must be some of our family. If you can identify these people,
please .
The names, from left to right, are in alphabetical order by given name. If you know the name for which you are looking, you can use the "Edit"
"Find" on your tool bar. The name of the cemetery is on the picture.

In 2004, the cemeteries we visited in Oklahoma were all decorated
with flowers. We were there in September, and I couldn't help
wondering if these graves were always so well represented. My guess
is that they are.
We also discovered a Nugen Cemetery, formerly known as "The Old Spears"
cemetery. It is located in Lost City, Oklahoma. We didn't take
any pictures there, but we did take down names. This old cemetery was
very unkempt. The grass was very tall and the cemetery was surrounded
by a barbed wire fence with a locked gate. We talked to someone in
the area who gave us permission to crawl through the fence. He told us
that once a year, someone comes and cleans and mows the cemetery, then
they throw a big celebration along with a feast right there inside the
cemetery. He said there are a lot of people who attend this celebration.
