Old Pauls Valley Cemetery
Pauls Valley, Garvin County, Oklahoma

Contributed by Dennis Muncrief, March 18, 2000 [mudman@cableone.net]. Total records = 93.

This cemetery is located near the center of town and was in use from 1870 to 1900. It was abandoned as the city grew to surround it. There are approximately 250 graves of which 95 are marked. The cemetery is maintained and well fenced. It is under the care of the City of Pauls Valley and closely guarded by the City Police Department. It can be understood as the Town's namesake, Smith Paul, wife Ellen Paul, and family are buried here.

Most of the stones are in good condition. However, some of the older marble stones were unreadable. I went to the New City cemetery and got an escort to the Old cemetery as I heard you would be arrested if the Police caught you there.

It is said that several of the Pauls were killed following a family squabble and died with their boots on, buried in unmarked graves. But, that's probably just legend, Right?
