The cemetery is actually in Montgomery county. When I first started looking for it I was told that it was near Harmony Church on Harmony Rd in Webster county. It is very near the county line northwest of Alva a bit. There are 25 or so marked tombstones and a number of sandstones. There are both O'Neals and Dunns buried there. Several of the graves are of CSA veterans. The exact location is as in my previous post and is located on private property with a sign at the cattlegap. I was looking for the Gorrell family who died of Dyptheria(I think) in 1898 who are buried there. The family is written up in the Webster County History Book. My grandmother was Cenia Inez Gorrell Gordon and is buried at Springhhill cemetery there in Webster county. Most of my family roots go back to the area around there and up to Calhoun City. Gore, Gordon, Gorrell, Middleton..on and on. I have a bit of information about my family and if I can help just give me a yell. I'm a part of the Gore Reunion group that gets together at the Springhill school house every June and attended the Alva school reunion last weekend. Good luck!!
