CEMETERY LIST
These are the markers which are standing and readable in this cemetery. Some of these are difficult to read and some of the information provided here may be incorrect because of that. Every effort was made to verify the names and dates.
This cemetery is very neglected. The grass and weeds are head high in places and many of the graves and stones are falling in. There are many places where it is evident graves are located, but the stones are gone or have fallen over.

AKERS, Floyd C. Born: May 7, 1867 Died: July 25, 1940
In 1930, Floyd C. Akers, with wife Octavia, were in Olustee, Jackson County, Oklahoma. This Floyd is the son of Daniel Akers, born 1822 in Montgomery County, Virginia, and Artie Branham Justice, born 1822 in Floyd County, Kentucky.
Floyd C. Akers (born
1867) appears to be the father of Floyd C. Akers, born 1894 and Georgia Akers,
born May 8, 1898 and died July 8, 1913 and buried in Aaron Cemetery.
Floyd C. Akers (born 1894) appears on the 1920 Jackson County Census with
wife, Hattie, age 24, and son, Bertie, age and daughter, Joyce, age 1-1/2.
Both children show to have been born in Oklahoma.
The family does not appear in Jackson in 1930, but Floyd C. Akers (born
1867) does in Olustee, Jackson County. Most
records show that he was buried in “Rock” Cemetery, Olustee, Oklahoma.
His grave is in Aaron Cemetery.
Floyd C. Akers (born 1894)
married Hattie Maxey, daughter of Walter Lee Maxey, born January 12, 1851 in
Newton County, Arkansas. He died
November 12, 1928 and is buried in Lone Wolf, Oklahoma.
Hattie is a direct ancestor of Representative Glen Maxey from the State
of Texas. She was born June 28, 1897 in Travis County, Texas.
There is no record of her burial.
No record checked
showed any other member of this family staying in Oklahoma.
BOMAR, R. C. Born: About 1848 Died: January 14, 1901
In 1880, R. C. Bomar and his wife, Josephine Kennedy, were in Cooke County, Texas with their 4 children: Edward, Carrie, Jessie and Joy. All the children were born in Tennessee, as were both parents.
There is no record placing them in Oklahoma in 1900-01, R. C. Bomar is buried in Aaron Cemetery, he has a marker which gives his date of death only showing that at the time of his death, he was 53 years, 9 days old. No other information was available.

In 1920, they were in Altus, Oklahoma with one son, Rawls, age 8. Also in the household was Alma Rogers, a sister in law born in 1891 in Texas. She could be a sister to Sarah, but no proof.

He was the son of Kent Cloud, born in 1856 in Pennsylvania, and Annie Elizabeth Scotten.
In both 1900 and 1910 census records, the family is living in Pennsylvania. In 1910, William DAVIS B. Cloud shows to be an office clerk. He was 21 years old. There is no record of his being in Oklahoma except the burial in Aaron Cemetery.

Annie E. Cox, daughter of James R. Cox of Illinois, married William Stanley Goen on November 14, 1889 in Johnson County, Texas.

Goen, Philliam
Born: Not Dated
Died: Not Dated
Philliam was the infant daughter of P. M. and C. Goen. A marriage record for P. M. Goin and Cornelia Ray was found in Johnson County, Texas dated November 20, 1879.
Cornelia Ray can be found on the 1870 Upshur County, Texas Census with her parents, Gabriel (born Georgia) and Mary Ray (born South Carolina). Cornelia is the youngest of 7 children and only one born in Texas. The other 6 children were born in Alabama.
I believe this is Phillip Madison Goen, a brother of William Stanley Goen, but I have no concrete proof.

December 23, 1898
Died: November 24, 1902
Nona Honea was born in Cleburne, Johnson County, Texas and was the daughter of Leslie Lendolph Honea, born January 8, 1872 in Texas, and Delilah Alice Hammonds, born 1872 in Tennessee. They married in 1891 in Oklahoma.

She married a man named Glover and they had one daughter, Winona Wandyne Glover, born April 18, 1921 in Texas. The entire Glover family died in Los Angeles County, California.

These two men were brothers and the sons of George Washington Wheeler Nickell, born in 1849 in Kentucky and died in 1926 in Hardeman County, Texas, and Margaret Elza. George Washington married three times and had children by all three wives, but those by Margaret are the only ones who had any ties to Oklahoma.
Samuel Henry and Vinyard were born in Henderson County, Texas and both died in Jackson County, Oklahoma and are buried in Aaron Cemetery. The sizes of the markers are quite different, Samuel’s marker is much larger and more ornate.
John Greenville Nickell, was born February 5, 1883 in Henderson County, Texas and married Lela Sewell on January 1, 1904 in Oklahoma. No other information was found.

Mary Mae Nickell was born May 20, 1905 in Mangum, Greer County, Oklahoma. She married ______ Holland and died August 2, 1984 in Henderson County, Texas.
The family appears to have been in Jackson County for about 5 years but none of the children remained.

March 16, 1863
Died: October 21, 1892
The only reference to this man is on the 1880 Johnson County, Texas Census. He shows to have been born in Texas in 1863, his father was born in Missouri. He is living in the household of Andrew J. Reeves, relationship “Other” and is working as a farm laborer.
Park, Sarah H.
Born: October 28, 1892
Died:
March 25, 1900
She was the daughter of James Washington Park, born September 17, 1856 in Madison County, Texas, and Sarah Elizabeth Webb, born October 25, 1855 in Madison County, Texas. Both her parents died and are buried in Quanah, Hardeman County, Texas.
James and Sarah Park had 12 children, all born in Texas except the last 2: Lillie Maud Park was born April 24, 1898 in Mangum, Greer County, Oklahoma. She married Guy Harris, born April 4, 1892 in Oklahoma. Both died and are buried in Quanah, Hardeman County, Texas – Orba Yetta Park was born March 24, 1900 in Mangum, Greer County, Oklahoma. She married Earnest Virgil Nash, born March 22, 1901 in Brazos County, Texas. They married in Quanah on April 3, 1920 and both died and are buried there.
There does not seem to be any further ties to Oklahoma for this family.
Payne, Tularay

Died: 1921
A Maggie Robinson was found on the 1920 Kiowa County, Census. She showed as the mother in law of W. H. Simmons. It is possible this is the same Maggie Robinson, but I cannot locate other records to verify it.
