"This burial place was started as a cemetery for Negro slaves when this area was part of the Creek Nation. Before slavery was abolished in the 1860's, at least 19 of those buried here were probably held in bondage." -Tyner.
Identified by Tyner and his team, in the American Indian Institute's "Our People And Where They Rest," (OPAWTR) James W. Tyner, Maxine Tyner and Alice Tyner Timmons, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK. 1971, Volume 5, pp. 103-4. (Library of Congress No. A-304793) Plot numbers are a match* to their plat map. (*vs. just being an enumeration or listing of who is buried there.) [A public University that received taxpayer dollars for the program/product; thus it is 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Their information (including any diagrams or maps) is given here as a historical reference and is presented "as is."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. See their map for use as a quick locator tool for graves here. 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) In August of 2021, I was 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: Keep in mind that this survey was done around 1970, and based on a visual assessment. There was a marker there at that time. 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, damage from unrestrained farm animals, desecration due to agricultural development/usage/abuse and other such factors, (including re-internment at a different cemetery) may well have intervened over the years, and the marker the entry relied upon 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.~
