"The old Garland family cemetery is situated three miles east and three quarters of a mile north of the present inland town of Tom in the extreme southeastern part of McCurtain County, Oklahoma. It is located near where stood the palatial plantation home of Chief Samuel Garland."

"There are some twelve or fifteen graves in the old Garland cemetery which is enclosed by a wrought iron fence. The cemetery site has been deeded to the State for the use and benefit of the Oklahoma Historical Society."

Statement came from CHRONICLES OF OKLAHOMA, Vol. 20, No. 1, March 1942, Chief George Hudson and Chief Samuel Garland, by John Bartlett Meserve. There was a B&W photo of the cemetery in this article also.
