Location:
SH 52, Oran, Texas
Historical Marker: Originally known as the Black
Springs Cemetery, the nearby burial ground was established to
serve pioneer settlers of the Keechi Valley and the settlement
of Black Springs. The earliest marked grave is that of Mary A.
Lasater (1841-1871). Land for the cemetery was deeded by Silas
Adam Sheek, stepfather of the noted Texas cattleman Charles Goodnight.
Renamed Oran Cemetery when a new community name was selected in
1886, it includes the graves of Goodnight's mother Charlotte Sheek
(1810-1882), Civil War veterans, pioneer settlers and early community
leaders. (1982)
