SOURCE: Plot number corresponds to the map as recorded in the canvass and survey from the American Indian Institute; "Our People And Where They Rest," (OPAWTR) James W. Tyner, Maxine H. Tyner and Alice Tyner Timmons, American Indian Institute, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK. 1971, (Library of Congress No. A-304793) Volume 1, p. 95. This cemetery was recorded in Delaware County, not Mayes County.

Their information (including any diagrams or maps) is given here as a historical reference and is presented "as is."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 genealogy 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)

NOTE: Based upon a survey done around 1970, with a visual assessment at that time; i.e., the marker WAS there when they canvassed the cemetery. It has since been reported as destroyed.
