"Located in the SE 1/4, Section 34, Township 16N, Range 23E of Cherokee County, Oklahoma (about two miles southeast of Tailholt). Only native stones mark graves but no inscriptions. Tom Brackett (76) remembered some of the people buried here. He helped his father make coffins for most everybody buried in this community for many years. He remembers these burials:" -Tyner, quoting David Campbell's records, which allowed this old burial place to be preserved.

Recorded in the American Indian Institute's "Our People And Where They Rest," (OPAWTR) James W. Tyner, Maxine Tyner and Alice Tyner Timmons, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK. 1982 (Library of Congress No. QE99-C5-T97, et al.) Vol. 12, p. 35. Survey was in August 1985. (Not to be confused with the "Pigeon Family Cemetery," which is located one mile southwest of Tailholt)

Their information (including any diagrams or maps) is given here as a historical reference and is presented "as is."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 genealogy 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)
