Headstone Restoration Planned for Gethsemane Cemetery in Caddo

Is your loved one a resident of the “Beautiful City of the Dead”? That’s the name used by the early citizens of Caddo, Oklahoma when referring to their local cemetery.

Unfortunately, the beauty and safety of that cemetery is now in jeopardy due to tilting, broken, and fallen headstones. Time, harsh weather, and other factors have taken their toll and at this time approximately 150 headstones are in need of alignment and restoration.

These include some of the earliest and most beautiful markers in the cemetery. Among those are the famous Woodmen of the World tree stump headstones.
