Six Mile Cemetery

Six Mile Cemetery has served residents of Six Mile since the early 1880s. William A. and Jane E. Stephens, early residents of this farming and ranching community, donated land for a burial ground in 1883. The earliest marked grave is that of Charles Oscar Turner, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Munn Turner, who died in December 1883 at five months of age. Also interred here are veterans of the Civil War, frontier battles with Native Americans, World War I, and World War II. The cemetery has been maintained by a cemetery association since 1987.
