This photo taken at the "Folsom" cemetery at Pocola, Ok.

The cemetery is located about 3 miles south of the intersection of Hwy's 271 and 112, (10 miles east of Spiro, Ok.)

The last burial in this abandoned and neglected cemetery was in 1907.

There are 65 memorials created for the "Folsom" cemetery.

There are actually only 23 grave markers identified in this cemetery. The other 42 memorials created belong in "Albert P. Folsom" family cemetery and the "James-Folsom" cemetery. All three of these cemeteries are located in LeFlore Co, but are not correctly identified as to the exact location of each one. Hopefully I have explained the necessary information for anyone trying to locate their ancestors.

There are nine (9) memorials created by Sharon Rhoades that belong in the "Albert P. Folsom" cemetery. This is a family plot located on the abandoned home site of Albert P. Folsom, about 3 miles south of Milton, Oklahoma.
These memorials have been duplicated by another person and should be deleted, as Sharon Rhoades created her memorials in 2007 and the other person entered duplicates in 2012.

The other 20 plus memorials created belong in the "James-Folsom" cemetery located less than 3 miles east of Whitesboro, Oklahoma, on Hwy 63. All these memorials have photo's posted by Kyle Dameron.

There is one grave in this cemetery with a Military gravemarker honoring James M. Edwards, a WW1 Choctaw Code Talker, and a ceremony celebrating the unveiling of this military marker featured a presentation of a Presidential Citation by Chief Gregory Pyle to Edwards's son, James Edwards. Invited guests at this ceremony included Rev. Bertram Bob, Speaker Kenny Bryant and Major General Leroy Sisco. (From the April 2004 issue of "Bishinik".)

Thanks and have a great time visiting these cemeteries. I have not visited the Albert P. Folsom cemetery as yet. At the present time, the Folsom cemetery at Pocola is being cleaned up and fenced in, and is located about 200 yards from Hwy. 112 on private property.

The above information by FAG contributor, Milton A. Stephens. Update 29 April 2016-----The photo's posted by Mille Belle and Kyle Dameron (cemetery views) belong in the James-Folsom cemetery east of Whitesboro, Ok. This photo above of the Folsom cemetery in Pocola contains only old and broken stones, unlike what you see in the photo's by Dameron and Mille Belle that are newer gravestones.
