| The Ward Cemetery is an abandoned burial site on the ranch of
Mrs. Eula Kelley, and the late Gorman Kelley, approximately 1 14/
miles southeast of Wardville. The site contains several
vault-like structures made of native rock, but is in a heavily
wooded area which is open to livestock, and is in very poor
condition. Mrs. Kelley and her nephew drove us to the site in a
jeep which is the only means of reaching it other than on foot.
It was canvassed November 11, 1980 by Ruth Williams and Gwen Walker.
On that date we located 15
marked graves. There may have
been some unidentified ones which were obscrued by leaves and
overgrowth. Wardville purportly was named for Samuel Ward who
was buied at this site in 1877. To search for a surname depress Ctrl+F, when the box appears, type in the surname and click on "Find Next." B
