Billy Bruner of the Creek Nation Concharty Town was married to Adaline Flanders (Flanlie Flanley)? Lochapoka Town. Both Billy and Adaline spoke Creek and his wife Adaline was said to be an interrupter. Children of Billy and Adaline were Iona, Bessie, Lilly, Loney, Nellie, William, Lyman and Richard D. Bruner. His daughter Nellie was the mother of Creek Nation Principal Chief A.D. Ellis.
The Bruner home was located across the road from the Bruner Cemetery. The land now owned by descendant's of the Fleetwoods.
Billy established the Bruner Cemetery for his family members. He planted a pear tree to provide shade for all those who visited. The pear tree still stands today. He is laid to rest beside his wife Adaline. Billy's headstone is the oldest grave marker in the cemetery. An additional story as it was told to me is that in the early days graves were sometimes marked with stones. It unclear if Adeline's and Billy's parents were laid to rest in the Bruner Cemetery further research is required.
Billy list Loney and Nancy Bruner of Concharty Town as his parents on official enrollment documents however, William's grandson; Billy recalls being told that William was adopted out after the death of his parents. His birth parents at one point lived in Texas. He's certain that the father's name Loney Bruner is accurate. He was German and had no Indian Blood. His wife was Full Blood Native American Indian. It is unknown if the parents lived in Indian Territory.Their graves are not in the Bruner Cemetery. Additional info indicates Billy's mother's name was Alice although enrollment records reflect the name Nancy. This info was verbally handed down. For a list of Billy's siblings see ancestry.com oquillastree. List provided by Billy Bruner son of Loney Bruner who was the son of this Billy Bruner I have found some inaccuracies of the roll numbers provided for the siblings some do not match estimated birthdates for the siblings so the true story of this family may be difficult to confirm. To make things even more confusing I'm told that there was a local rancherS.F. Severs (image of Severs can be found in the newspaper photo I have attached in this memorial) that took in a lot of the young native american men in the area and many of them chose to use the name Bruner. It is not known why they chose to use the Bruner name. Billy was a baby when he was handed off to another family so one has to wonder if the information he passed down was accurate especially since I'm having a difficult locating a Loney Bruner (his father). However Texas records for the time period are scarce which could be the reason I can not link him to Billy.
