Description
“Luther Cemetery (also known as Valley View Cemetery), dates back to about 1910. This is a cemetery with 1470 burials. Surrounding the cemetery, on all four sides, is a wall constructed of uncut native stone, topped with concrete.
The wall was constructed under a WPA project funded with $3022 in 1936. The cemetery is located about one-half mile north of Route 66 on Peebly Road.
This WPA project is listed in the Oklahoma Landmark Inventory database.” (waymarking.com)
