Whisler Cemetery is located on the north side of Covell Road, just west of Meridian on the west side of Edmond. It is a rectangular cemetery, with no interior roadways. There are approximately 175 burials here, with the west half of the cemetery unused at this time.
Albert S. Clayton shares a double gray granite headstone, with his wife Bertha, who passed away in 1989. The headstone has a slight curve at the top, with a rusticated edge. The surname CLAYTON is engraved at the bottom center of the headstone, with individual name blocks for Albert and Bertha on the upper left and right. Between their names is an engraving of Praying Hands.
