"Cox Family Plot, Creek Twnsp, R 4 W, T31, Sec 15, SW corner of NW 1/4.  Location from Conway Springs: 2 1/2 S, 6 W.

This plot measures 30' X 36".  It is about 20" above the ground around it.  The fist landowners were Ephriam and Mariah Cox.  It is believed their daughter, Amanda Cox Boyd, who died April 3, 1906, and a small child were buried in this location.

Through the years, the farmers have respected this small plot by farming around it.

Oil and gas leases show this exception to be a cemetery.
