Carmen IOOF Cemetery

IOOF Cemetery - Section 35-Township 25N-Range 12W…

This cemetery was established near the IOOF Orphans home at Carmen, Oklahoma. The Masonic Lodge was concerned about children of their members who might be left without care in case they were orphaned. Thus there was a need for a cemetery nearby in instances of deaths and also for relatives of the children. To go to this cemetery, leave from the corner of the Carmen school go one and one half miles north. Blanche Belknap helped with this cemetery.
