Perry Grove Cemetery was once on the old road. The road have now been relocated and Perry Grove is now out in a ranchers field. To find it start at the intersection of hiway 70 and hiway 81 just east of Waurika, drive south on hiway 81 for 1 mile. You should now be just on the south side of an intermitten stream. Walk to the east 1/4 of a mile to the cemetery. There are numberous unmark grave. Waurika County Court did not have any information on this site. I found the list of interments at he Oklahoma City History Museum in Oklahoma City.

"Removing Bodies

The local undertakers are busy this week removing the bodies from the old cemetery to the new burying grounds west of the city.

About 25 bodies have been moved thus far, but practically all that have been buried in the past three years will be taken up and reburied in the new cemetery."

The new Waurika Cemetery, cemetery I.D. 99760 opened in mid-1910. There were no burials in the Perry Grove cemetery after that date.
