Old Moral
Cemetery Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma
This cemetery was
canvassed Oct 24, 1998 by Nalora BURNS and Sharon CRAWFORD. This cemetery
is well maintained. It has a gate with a sign that says: MORAL 1895. We
met a woman while we were canvassing this cemetery who stated that the
cemetery was maintained by the Tribbey Cemetery Fund. Jim WRIGHT of
Tribbey is the caretaker, along with Bill PARKER of Tecumseh. The cemetery
has only recently been maintained -- for years it was covered with
overgrowth. The original plot papers were burned. There are NUMEROUS
unmarked stones in this graveyard. In the old section, there is an entire
area that is free from even sandstone markers.
Directions: Take State Highway 9 East to 102. Take 102
south past Tribbey, after the curve will be a GREEN cemetery sign with an
arrow. Go west on a gravel road to the top of the hill. This cemetery is
approx 2 miles south of Tribbey and 2 miles North of Trousdale off of
102. Starting in the East section and working up and down the rows from the
old section to the new section in the West. Ida J., daughter of T.O. & M. J. NOBLES Oct 29, 1874 - May 14,
