This cemetery is located in the SW4,SW4, SW4 of Section 35, Township 17N, Range 25E. It is located approximately one mile south of the community of Baron in Adair County, Oklahoma. In 1937, W.J.B. Bigby surveyed this cemetery through his work with the Works Progress Administration. He recorded the existence of approximately thirty graves in this cemetery, one of which contained a tombstone. Bigby also stated, "This information was furnished by George Tieskie, an old timer in the community, concerning this old cemetery. This was told to him by Mr. Riley Ragsdale, who used to own this land. The cemetery was started before the Civil War, but it is not known who the family was that started the cemetery. After the said war, the Easky family of Cherokees moved onto the place about 1870. Their Cherokee name was Ta-Cha-Nee-Skee. They went by this last name among the Cherokees. This family used this cemetery as a family cemetery after they moved on this place. All of the Ta-Cha-Nee-Skee family are buried at this place. Mr. Tieskie has been told by Riley Ragsdale that his grandmother, Lydia Bean, was buried at this place. Riley Ragsdale allotted this land at allotment. He later sold it to Riley Bradford, a Cherokee. Bradford sold to Frank Howard, and Howard sold to Fred Wilsey. Wilsey still owns the place."
