Gardner Cemetery
Silo, OK

This cemetery is in very bad shape.
It is secluded in a thicket of briars, thorns, ticks in the middle of a pasture.
You must have someone show you how to get there. It is not easily found.
I went there July 2002 and again in 2005.
The people that own the property will gladly show it to you.
Call first to set up a time (they work outside of the home)
Their names are Terry & Charlotte Morgan (580) 924-4789
Directions are: From Durant go 5 miles West on US 70.
Turn North on Kiersey-Silo
Rd (there is a storm shelter business on the corner) for 4 miles.
Turn East on Quail Creek Rd and go 6/10 of mile and turn right to go to Mr. Morgan's home.
(Green Metal Roof)
He will take you across his field to a gate and then you go approx 1/2 mile to a thicket of trees.
The information listed below is from a survey that the
Bryan County Genealogy Society did back in the 1980's.
I tried to verify the information off the stone's but the stones are
broken and wearing thin and I wasn't at all prepared for what I found.
Some stones were hard to get to because of the growth of thorn bushes.
Call or email me if you have any other questions. The Marcums below are my relatives.
