• Notes

  Notes from an e-mail from a descendant visiting the graveyard: "Yesterday, we ventured again to Webbers Falls, slowed down and enjoyed a local carwash drive while all the cherokee, apache, and whites got on their cell phones to find that " Micfar land cemetery". They did give us accurate details on how to find DURDEE CRICK just across I 40. Once at Mcfarland Cemetery I admired the handsome granite monument and was spellbound when I found Greatgranmas 1st husband Tribble Daniel tombstone and of course the blessed McFarlands amongst the lilac and nicely landscaped abode. " From: http://greetingsfromgreencountry.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-2-of-rain.html Pictures of the cemetery and her notes are here: The pictures above and below are of a small family cemetery tucked back off the main gravel road in to Webbers Falls from our place. It is very near an overpass on I-40, although you cannot see it from the freeway. I've always wondered who was buried there, and more importantly, who kept it up, because it is always well mowed and weeded and kept looking so nice. So one day Mary and I stopped and took some pictures. I'm so glad we did. I still don't know who keeps it up, but assume it is some family member or someone they pay to do it. I'll type up what the large headstone says in case you can't read it all. See below.
