An abandoned cemetery which was identified by the Tyner research team (University of Oklahoma) in a canvass and survey conducted around 1970. Location given as Section 35, Range 26E, Township 13N in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. See their publication "Our People And Where They Rest," James W. Tyner and Alice Tyner Timmons, American Indian Institute, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK. 1970, Vol. 3, p. 79. (Library of Congress No. QE99-C5-T97)

Tyner noted "most the steel picket fence remains, but livestock have bent some of it over. Brush and vines cover all. Most stones down or broken." There are approximately thirty graves shown on the map, 23 of which were determined, but unidentified. The cemetery's namesake, Mandy Downing, is presumed to be one of the marked locations on the map, that did not have a marker.

Their information is given here as a historical reference and is presented "as is."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. Most of the volumes and maps are available for online viewing.
