Seward Cemetery is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of South Broadway and West Seward Road in far south Guthrie, Logan County.
There are three Simpson family members (Father, Mother and Son), whose markers are identical and homemade. Each is a flat rectangle of concrete into which metal letters and numbers have been pressed. The name is across the top, with the dates below. At the center of each is a cross outlined in metal strips, with small squares of colored tile. The son's marker has a toy pickup imbedded. The father's has a toy tractor, and the mother's has two metal angels. The markers read:
