Grayson-Perryman Cemetery

Tulsa, OK

This is a very small cemetery near mingo creek between 11th and 21st streets. The location is where East 15th street dead-ends just east of South 89th East Avenue. There are around 12 graves here but only three have stones with names that I can find. There are 3 or 4 concrete slab, crepts that have no markers on them. The cemetery is in otherwise, good shape and most of the graves have plastic flowers indicating that it is well attended. I’m 51 years old and I grew (1960 to 1978) up less than a mile from here, explored the nearby creek and played at a friend from school’s house right down the street and never knew it was here until last week.I received a message from another FindAGrave member who said she grew up on 14th Street. In communication with someone who has family buried there, they said there are actually more like 200 graves there. Many of the markers have disappeared from the time she was living nearby (1957 through 1977. She is trying to get more info.
