This cemetery was part of an old mission. There was a Catholic Monastery and was on the hill on the Old Littlefield Place. When the Littlefield brother's John and James Little field purchased the property. One of the brother's decided to tie a big tombstone to his horse and demolished the other stones in the cemetery. He put a fence around the cemetery and put hogs in it to root up the graves. The families tried to lynch him at the time and he left town. His brother put a fence up around his part of the property and left his part alone. Harold Hamilton bought the place and allowed the Poteau Genealogical Society to go up and take a look at the cemetery. We found many stones broken and partially buried. We found my Great Great Great Grandfather, James E. Howard's stone big and intact. Was just buried. We sat it up and dusted it off and it is now posted on his page. My Mother, JoAnn Cox Carpenter and Father, Robert James Carpenter along with Arlene LeMaster head of the Genealogical society at the time and I found a dozen tombstones. For a good list of the people in this cemetery you will need to Look at Birney Brothers Funeral Home records at the Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas Library. It was also called Geary's lane at one time. Harold Hamilton has since passed away. This property is located on the Hamilton Place in the old Braden Community in what is now Spiro, LeFlore County, Oklahoma. Not far from the Fort Smith Arkansas Line.
