NORCE Cemetery - Enid, OK - Worldwide Cemeteries on Waymarking.com

The Northern Oklahoma Resources Center of Enid (NORCE) was first established in 1909 and was known as the Oklahoma Institution for the Feeble Minded. It later became known as Enid State School, and in 1963, the school housed 1444 children and adults, along with staff. In 1992, the school was renamed NORCE and is currently under the administration of the Oklahoma Department of Human Resources. It is a residential and rehabilitative facility and a care facility for the developmentally disabled. They also operate a sheltered workshop at this location.

This cemetery is located at 30th Street and Breckenridge, on the grounds of NORCE. A tall metal arch at the entrance shows "ENID STATE SCHOOL CEMETERY" with the dates 1918-1985. There are approximately 135 burials here. This is a flat, grassed area with a handful of rather old trees. A concrete sidewalk leads to a small garden area with two concrete benches and a metal bench, as well as a small stone angel statue.

The oldest burial here was in 1930, with forty internments in the 1940s, and a few in recent years, with the latest in 2010.
