OUR PEOPLE AND WHERE THEY REST

1043 OLD CEMETERIES WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF
THE OLD INDIAN TERRITORY



 

 

Note:  These are cemetery records from Northeast Oklahoma (mainly Cherokee domain). The title should not confuse those researching these records, as many buried in these old cemeteries were Cherokee, but many were whites who had settled in those areas, including their children who were born and died there.  Plat Maps of the areas will assist in locating these cemeteries.  Their locations are given by Section, Range, and Township (represented by the abbreviates Sec, R, and T).

Canvassed and photographed by Diane Gann October, 2000

This cemetery used to have a few more stones than it does now.  It now has only two stones both of which
have been knocked off or have fallen off their bases.  This cemetery is not fenced or cared for.   It is evident
that cattle are allowed to roam freely here.  Diane's husband, Wayne, used to play here as a child so he knew
of the existence of this old cemetery and they took the time to photograph and document it for the Garvin County listing.
If you know of others who may be buried here please let us know.

  

Coming from Marlow...

1 3/10 mile from the HWY 76(Lindsey)/29 intersection ... 
Turn North, go 4/10 mile off Hwy 29 on the right side of the road, Among some trees.

Minnie J. Wife of Silas Gibson

The two last names are spelled differently but my intuition says they are the
same, and should be spelled the same.. however, I don't know which
spelling would be the correct one.... Diane Gann

Oklahoma

This poem was given to me by a cousin in Fletcher, Oklahoma.

When God made Oklahoma,
I think He had some fun.
I think He used the leftovers,
When everything else was done.

When He finished the Painted Desert,
He still had lots of red.
So He brush stroked Oklahoma,
Painting land and river red.

When God created mountains,
A pile of stones in His hand,
Were stacked in Oklahoma,
Making the Arbuckle and Wichita band

When God built large rain forests,
In Arkansas, and so,
He had so many extra seeds,
Well, where should the rest go?

So He threw them in a band of green,
As thick as one can see.
The Ouachitas and Ozark Plateau
Are filled with many a tree.

When the rivers of many nations,
And creeks of many states,
were finished, He just pushed the rest,
Into-- you guessed the place.

With help He took the Kansas wheat,
And cotton from the South,
Then oil from Texas fields,
Plus peanuts for one's mouth.

And put them into Oklahoma,
With surprises everywhere.
No boring sameness of terrain,
But pot-luck landscape where --

People of many colors,
Live on red earth land,
Harvesting golden wheat fields,
And tilling with tool or hand.

And when God finished this project,
After all His creative fun,
I'm sure He grinned in satisfaction,
And commented "Well done."
