The genealogical section of the Washington Library downtown (on 4th St.?) has a plat map of the cemetery and an index of people buried there. It has one for Woodlawn cemetery too. It would be worth your while to stop at the library before going to the cemetery. You may even find obituaries for your relatives there - old ones are pasted in some large binders.

I wish I had known my great grandparents. We didn't live far away, Wichita, but the only time I ever remember meeting them was when my grandmother, Gladys Viola Nelson Crow died. I was only 9. They lived across from an elementary school. I remember the kids were on the playground when we went up to the funeral. Do you have any pictures of them? I am hoping to visit my Aunt Hazel Lee Nelson Fitch in Lawton, OK soon, I am so curious as to why we never visited them.
