Ewing Cemetery goes back before statehood and started out as a family burial plot. There was a school by that same name. It had been an all black cemetery before Don and Jean Crutchfield purchased the land in 1973. At present in 2004 it is not kept up, the families perhaps have all moved away. This cemetery is a striking contrast to the well kept Oaklawn Cemetery. {Information obtained from OK County Cemetery Index - compiled by OK County HCE Genealogy Group, page 31.}
If you have family buried in this cemetery and would like to add their information, an obit, tombstone photo, funeral home record or memorial card to this website, please send area coordinator an e-mail.
