Confederate Memorial Day

Saturday April 28, 2012

Olympus Cemetery, Grove, OK

Hosted by
Cowskin Prairie 2611

This year our chapter began, what we hope, will be a multi-year project as we take Confederate Memorial Day to honor all CSA fallen forever residing in Delaware County, Oklahoma. This year, we began the project in Olympus Cemetery. Directions to the cemetery as well as the original invitation can be found at the bottom of this page.

We are grateful to Mahlon Erickson of Oklahoma City, for assisting our chapter in preparing the roll and we all agree there may be more that we are unaware of.
