All information is on this page
Oak Grove Cemetery is north of
Decatur. From Decatur go north on Fm Rd 51 about 6 miles. Turn to the left at
the D Bar H gate. The cemetery is about 3 miles to the west down oil field
roads. The gate is locked and you will need permission to enter.
To enter the cemetery from the
west you can go north on Greenwood Road and turn right past the small lake and
dam onto PR 2432. Again the gate is locked and you will need permission to
enter. The cemetery is on a hill to the east of this small lake. The land is now
owned by Robert and Terry Cocanougher. It was owned by Dean Hancock, and before
that by the Cowen�s.
At one time the Oak Grove
Church was located by the cemetery. The church is now south of the cemetery on
Greenwood Road.
In December 2001 the cemetery
was fenced with a chain link fence and had some tall grass in it. We started
from the gate on the southeast corner and found 42 headstones as we went toward
the northwest corner. The headstones are numbered as we came to them. Another 4
records are added from an earlier listing.
Thank you to Sue Cocanougher
for taking us to this cemetery.
On the same ranch, about 2 miles
east of the cemetery, is a single tall headstone on top of a hill. It can be
seen from the oil field road as you approach from the east. See pictures below.
This headstone is number 43 in
the data. It says:
