| Marker Text | "Ghost" burial plot with 26 unmarked graves of unidentified, unfortunates, or men traveling under aliases during 1926-29 oil boom violence. All vestiges of graves lost in winds, shifting sands. Plot dedicated to memory of those with names known only to God. "We raised not a stone, but left him alone..." Wolfe (1964) |
