Redbird Wolf Chief Indian Gravesite
Corn, Washita County, Oklahoma, USA
From Corn, Ok, 3 miles west, then 2 miles north.
This story was related by Mrs. Orpa Dick Epp of Corn:
"We grew up on the C. H. Dick farm NW of Corn. Our neighbors to the west were a Native American family, Red Bird and Magpie, and daughter Sarah Wolf Chief. They visited with us often, and Magpie made a pair of beaded moccasins for each of us children in about 1925.
On the hill in our south pasture were two graves inside an iron fence. We often looked at them when driving in the cows. One morning our father took a spade and went through the pasture to the hill. We were curious and followed him. As we approached we heard the mother, Magpie, wailing and crying. We saw that the graves were open and bones were scattered about. My father put the bones back in the graves and closed them up again. He later explained that the graves had been robbed. We never heard who did this. In was in the late 1920's."
