McKinney Cemetery (Black)

This is an African-American cemetery located near the north line of the NW1/4 SW1/4 of Section 10, Township 14 South, Range 21 West. It is somewhat difficult to find since there are no signs to direct you and there are several oil field roads in this area. The cemetery is still used for burials.
Driving directions: From the intersection of Hwy. 371 and Hwy. 76, go east toward Waterloo for one mile. Turn right on County Road 162 and go a little over 1/2 mile and turn left. Go about 2/10ths of a mile and turn left to the cemetery.
A survey of this cemetery was made in 1970 by the Homemakers Clubs
Eighteen marked graves were found that could not be identified in 2019. Twenty-eight graves listed in the 1970 survey could not be found
