I tend to agree with the "more than one buried in the same grave" theory. I did recheck my database, and it is definately Section 5, Lot-not listed, grave 43.1. Most everyone else has a Lot #, so I'm not sure about it. All of Section 5 has graves listed in this manner, and all have not stones. Might be a paupers section of the cemetery. I guess I'll have to talk with my father to see if he remembers what this might mean, as he is the one that canvassed all but one of the Cleveland County Cemeteries. Hard Copies of his work are located at the Oklahoma Historical Society. And of course, my copy. Also located in Sections 5, grave 43.1 TAYLOR W. E. d. 21 Jul 1924 and grave 43.1, WILLIAMS, Thomas E. d. 18 Aug 1932. I don't know if this will help in any way, but thought I'd passe it on just in case. If I can find anything else on the subject, I'll for sure let everyone know. Jo

Some cemeteries have pre buried in a whole section what is called a double vault for 2 people, or a vault that will hold 4 people and cover them in the ground then the plots are sold. when the buyer needs it the first person is placed in the vault, and a slab is then placed in the vault which leaves a space for the next person. I worked for a company in Colma California that made the Cement Vaults and delivered them to the various Cemeteries around San Francisco.. 73s Bill NAVNMARCORMARS Proudly serving those who serve.
