The Bethel Cemetery is located approximately 10 miles north and 8 1/2 miles west of Stringtown, Oklahoma, near the Wardville Community. It is behind an old abandoned church house, but the cemetery is well kept, and is still active.

RHYNE, Janie MARCUM - b. Dec. 4, 1884 d. July 27, 1903 Note: She is the first wife of Sam C. RHYNE (buried in Wardville Cem.) married Oct. 12, 1902 in Atoka - Choctaw Nation. She is the daughter of James A. and Mary Melissa Caudill/Cordell MARCUM, sister to my grandmother, Ida Pearl Marcum Jenkins.

RHYNE, Andie - b. July 26, 1903 d. August 19, 1903 Son of Sam C. and Janie Marcum Rhyne.

The story I have been told by Kathy Lynch is that one hot summer night Sam and Janie (who lived in the house near the Cairo Cemetery and owned the land at that time) were sleeping on the screened in porch. Someone came up to the house late that night and Janie got up to go into the house. She ran into the pot bellied stove and went into labor. The baby was born and she died the next day. Andie lived a couple more weeks.

RHYNE, F. M. - Note: I don't know anything about this one but he is buried next to the above and must be related to Sam.
