There is at least one picture from Bethel online at the county site. I can't remember if I have the others uploaded yet. I have one picture from Bethel with about 20 people standing in front of the building. Are you looking for someone in particular from Bethel? My Dad went to school there, one grandpa taught there and the other grandpa was on the school board there. There was a Fairview school but I don't have any pictures of it.

Dear List Members, I received a message from Tammie Chada, Web Mistress of the Oklahoma Cemetery Mailing List Home Page letting me know that she is running behind in uploading information which has been sent to her, due to her mother's illness. She has on her desk waiting to be upload as of this date, about 2 cemeteries, 10-20 obits and over 5000 tombstone photos. If your data is not on the site, check back in a couple of weeks. If you have a concern that she has not received the information you sent for the Oklahoma Cemetery Mailing List Home Page, let me know at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net and I will check and see. I appreciate all the hard work that Tammie is putting into this site. I feel that Oklahoma researchers have one of the best Cemetery Sites on the internet. I also appreciate all of the volunteers surveying cemeteries, taking photos, sending their links. It is because of this willingness to share that Tammie is able to produce the quality of site that she has for us. If you have a survey that you are working on, or know of a survey which has been completed and know who owns it we would love to hear from you. We also would love to have you share any photos you have of Oklahoma tombstones and or cemeteries and Oklahoma Obits. You can contact me regarding these items at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net.
