How can I reach the records keeper of the Gowen Cemetery? Am interested in the Neathery graves and burial records.

The cemetary is run by a local association in Gowen. When I went there they didn't have any records to speak of. I'm betting, though that you can reach them by just writing to Gowen with the title "Gowen Cemetery Association"

Lynn-I am very interested in your Neathery family. Wm. Lee is in my family line. His father Milton Franklin and mother Mary Martha Baggett Neathery are family of mine in Illinois. I have been working very hard to find this family, because I would like to have some information about a brother to Milton Franklin--Joseph Neathery. He is our brick wall. I will be happy to share all I can with you from Illinois. Jan Gray

Barbara I live in Gowen and grew up here. I have just finished walking the Cambria-Gowen Cemetry and listing all marked graves. As a matter of fact my g.g. grandfather donated the land the cemetry in on. If I can help I will. LeAnn

LeAnn I am interested in a list of the Cem. My G-Grandpa Rev. E H Bennett and other relation is buried there. Thank You....Troy

Eli H. Bennett is also my gggrandfather, so we must be kin. I would be happy to help you. I have pictures of his and the rest of the Bennet headstones LeAnn

Do you happen to have any information on frank or Rufus walker from Gowen, Latimer Co, OK

Did your Eli H Bennett serve in the civil war? I am researching my Bennett line, I have either a 3rd Great Grandfather or 2nd Great Uncle who was also named Eli H. Bennett.
Pictures of tombstones would be greatly appreciated.

Yes my Eli H. Bennett served in the civil war. He came here from North Carolina. I will get a picture for you as soon as I can

Also his son James Orthur (J.O.) is burried here. Both Eli & J.O. were Baptist preacher's. I have a copy of J.O.'s ordaination papers. Eli came here to live with J.O.'s family until the time of his death. He is the first person buried in the cemetery that J.O. gave land for. Hope some of this helps.
