Memorial Day Weekend III - Memory Lane Cemetery

Next stop?  
Anadarko.
Memory Lane Cemetery.

I have included this stop on the list since Junior Menefee passed away.  Junior and Winona are my ex-husband's paternal grandparents.  Theirs are the only graves in the cemetery that I mess with, although I will usually say 'hi' to Delphia (Winona's mother) since I used to have her ironing board.  But that is a whole other story.  

Memory Lane really is a nice cemetery.  And it is HUGE!  The Menefees are off to the east side not far from the north entrance, so usually it is a quick in and out for us.  This time we drove around a little bit which is not an easy feat given the cemetery's teeny-tiny narrow lanes!  I thought I spied a veteran's memorial or something of the sort but when we got closer it turned out to be just a section more saturated than others with veterans markers.  Nothing more.  Once there I was able to get a pretty decent picture from the top of a hill that somewhat gives an idea of how broad and sweeping this cemetery is.

I have little personal history with Anadarko itself and am rarely there anymore, so I don't have much in the way of personal tidbits to share.  However, there is a synopsis of the history of the Memory Lane Cemetery on Anadarko's city website that is worth checking out.
