Blaine County Cemeteries |

"The Geary Cemetery is the largest cemetery in Blaine County and may be the
oldest other than the Indian burials. Early settlers founded the Geary cemetery in 1888. There
are no marker dates this early; however, there is one-dated 1891. It is for a young
woman by the name of Susan Geary whose father, M.J. Geary, was buried later
with the inscription on his tombstone, 'born in Cavin County, Ireland'. This
raises the question of whether Geary is French or Irish name." Cemeteries of Blaine County Oklahoma, Publisher: El Reno, OK, 1982
