If you would like to volunteer to photograph & transcribe Sandlin Family Cemetery, please contact me.

2 cement markers but could not read.... 1 base only - no marker.


Directions:
From HELENA, OK.
Go 3 miles North on Hwy #58, then jog West a short distance (this is the Correction Line) & then turn back North again for 1 mile. Then go West approx. 1 1/4 miles. (This road is hilly.) The cemetery is on the North side of the road. ( After you leave #58, it is dirt roads - don't travel these if it has been raining !) From the road, the gravestones are a short distance back in the pasture - maybe 1/3 of a mile.


The cemetery is fenced - approx. an acre. It is all grown up with weeds and grass, etc. There may be more graves but would have to clean it up before you could search.


Sandlin Cemetery is located in Section 29 Township 25N Range 10W in Alfalfa County. It is located from Helena 5 miles north (1 mile past the correction line), 2 and 1/2 miles west. It is on the north side of the road on a hill about a quarter of a mile into the pasture from the road.


William R. Sandlin deeded land for a church and a cemetery in 1923. The church was never built. There have been burials over the years, but there was never any contact with owners of the rest of the land. Lucille Ackley (Fuson) and Ruth Ann (Fuson) Stanley still own the farm. Lucille recalls markers have disappeared from several graves. Other graves do not have stones. Most of the graves are in one row with a few grouped at the south end. This cemetery is no longer used. This pictures shows a view of the cemetery from the road, and you can see the two white spots are tombstones. The stones at the top of the picture shows the condition of this cemetery.
