SOURCE: Plot number corresponds to the map as recorded in the canvass and survey from the American Indian Institute; "Our People And Where They Rest," (OPAWTR) James W. Tyner
and Alice Tyner Timmons, American Indian Institute, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK. 1971, (Library of Congress No. QE99-C5-T97) Volume 6, p. 97.

Their information (including any diagrams or maps) is given here as a historical reference and is presented "as is." Their book, like many such cemetery listing compilations, may contain errors. As with any genealogical information, this is merely a "source" and should be considered as such. It falls upon the end-user to verify the accuracy. See their map for use as a quick locator tool for graves here. The set of books are available at many Oklahoma libraries. Once freely available for online viewing, the OPAWTR volumes can now be accessed only at a LDS Family History Library, a partner library, or a Family History Center. (LDS).

NOTE: Based upon a survey done around 1970, and based on a visual assessment at that time; i.e. the marker WAS there at that time. Thousands of important historical records are lost to today's researchers due to the fact that there are those who won't put them up on such sites - unless the marker can be found today; ignoring the fact that tornadoes, theft or removal, vandalism, agricultural usage/abuse and other such factors, (including re-internment at a different cemetery) may well have intervened over the years, and the marker may indeed not be found today. Nevertheless, the value of submitting this memorial as a historical record is relevant and important to those who are tracing their ancestry. This would be quite likely since Tyner said the cemetery was in an open pasture unprotected from livestock; no fence.* The legal description of the cemetery is at Section 10, Range 7E, Township 5N, in Seminole County. A photo showed most of the markers down and damaged by livestock, the cemetery may not even be found today.
