Add PhotosThe Whooper Family Cemetery is located in the NE 1/4 of Section 28, Township 17 North, Range 25 East in Adair County, Oklahoma. It is approximately two miles west of the community of Baron.
In 1937, Dan Hummingbird, a field worker with the Works Progress Administration's Indian-Pioneer Papers Project, surveyed this cemetery and found approximately ten graves in this cemetery, none of which were marked. He ranked the cemetery in poor condition in 1937.
Hummingbird interviewed Charley Watt, a fullblood Cherokee, who helped bury every person buried in this cemetery. Watt stated that the Whooper family began this cemetery about the year 1880. Squirrel Whooper was the first individual buried at this location. The cemetery was abandoned after the last burial (Charley Whooper in 1907).
