The Tidwell Cemetery is located close to Doyle which is between Marlow and Elmore City. This is a neat old cemetery that has stones dating back to the late 1800's. The cemetery is a bit overgrown and in desperate need of a clean up, but it is a wonderful little find! I would highly suggest tennis shoes or boots and blue jeans to go in there because it is over grown and who knows whats in that Oklahoma grass!
It is off the main path, so I would suggest putting the destination into a GPS to find it, it is about 3 miles off the main highway. Travel on Highway 29 just before the Doyle water tower turn north on Poteet Road. The road will turn east, follow it 2-3 miles and it should be on your right or the south side of the road. The sign is visible from the dirt road, but the cemetery its self sits about 1/4th a mile off the road on private land. You can drive over the cattle guard and up a ways until you spot the cemetery then there is a flat place to park while you visit the cemetery.
