This burial was recorded in the canvass and survey from the American Indian Institute; "Our People And Where They Rest," (OPAWTR) James W. Tyner, and Alice Tyner Timmons, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK. 1969 (Library of Congress No. QE99-C5-T97) Volume 1, p. 98. [University that received taxpayer dollars for the program/product; thus presumed to be in the public domain]

Their information (including any diagrams or maps) is given here as a historical reference and is presented "as is."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 genealogical information, this is merely a "source" and should be considered as such. It falls upon the end-user to verify the accuracy. Their map is of no use in this instance, as all it showed was the stubs of the few remaining monument bases; the land had been used as pasture and all markers had been scattered or broken or missing.* 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)
Aug. 2021 update: I am informed that the set is now available on the Family Search website, but you have to be a member, and be signed in, to access it under "Books."

NOTE: Based upon a survey done around 1969, with a visual assessment at that time; i.e., the marker or remnant thereof may or may not have been there when they canvassed the cemetery. Thousands of important historical records are lost to today's researchers due to the fact that there are those who won't put them up on such sites as FAG - unless the marker can be found today; ignoring the fact that tornadoes, theft or removal, vandalism, agricultural usage/abuse* and other such factors, (including re-internment at a different cemetery) may well have intervened over the years, and the marker may indeed not be found today. Nevertheless, the value of submitting this memorial as a historical record is relevant and important to those who are tracing their ancestry.~Born in Cherokee Nation.
