This very old marker for Marie Ooten is at the middle of a section that is three sections to the east of the cemetery office building. The stone is upright, and curved on the top. The okcemeteries website states that Gelta is Marie's husband, which would make her 40 years older than her husband, which I find unlikely.
Text on marker:
Gelta Jackson 1863-1923
