In 1898, Daniel and Amy Bessinger donated the land for this cemetery. Pilgrims Rest Cemetery is located about 7/10s mile south of I-40, or 3/10s mile south of SE 89th Street, on the east side of Harrah-Newalla Road. I have listed the graves by row starting from the west end of the cemetery with plots proceeding from north to south. Examples: R5-4 would be the fourth grave in from the north end of row 5. R1-3 would be the third grave in from the north end of the first row at the front of the cemetery. The rows are very long, so a grave number such as R2-40 is going to be near the south end of Row 2. The rows are not very straight, so my row numbers could be off a little. In fact, Row 6 appears to be a half row. be a half-row which starts about mid-way between the north and south ends of the row. There are a few new graves outside of the main fenced cemetery. I have number these graves as N-R1-1, N-R3-2, etc.
Avis Harter {405} 391-3295 is the Sexton of this cemetery.
