Grandma" Patiacow
1817—1924 "Grandma" Patiacow, a Delaware Indian, was the oldest living Native American in the state of Oklahoma at the time of her death—she was 107. She rode her horse from Texas to Kansas with her young son, Joe Wagon, during the Civil War. She rode by night and hid out by day in order to escape the soldiers who she believed to be after her. Her bravery in this feat was remembered and talked about for many years. Patiacow and Joe made the journey from Kansas to Washington County and received an allotment. "Grandma" - as she was known and as she is memorialized on her gravestone—lived alone on her allotment near the Sand Creek bluffs. Her Dawes Roll number is D36. "Grandma" traded beadwork, which she made, for groceries. Friends attributed her long life to her method of living close to nature. She was her own doctor and made medicines from herbs she gathered in the woods near her home.
