Patricia, I visited the Oklahoma Historical Society yesterday and was unable to find either of the above names listed in any of their books on Oklahoma. I found a Mountain Station in eastern Oklahoma and in the southwest section of the state the following: Mountain View Cemetery - Fletcher NE Comanche County Mountain Park Cemetery - SE Kiowa County The latter is near the Quartz Mountain area and your "White Mountain" could be a local name. You might check with the following addresses to see if they can help any.

Rebecca, I went to the Oklahoma Historical Library yesterday and had 14 e-mails to search. I was able to complete research on 4. Yours was one. With out the surname at the time I could not totally complete a search. I did find out the two cemeteries are across the street from each other. They are located at the following location: 1. Sacred Heart Abbey Cemetery - Reserved for Clergy who served the Sacred Heart Mission. 2. Sacred Heart Parish Cemetery - 7 miles east of Asher on SH 39 and 1/2 mile north on NS 348 on the west side of the road. Sec 13 / Twp 6 N / Range 5 E 3. Pottawatomie Indian Cemetery - 1/4 mile south of SHPC on east side of NS348. The Cemetery has been camvased and I could look up your surname next Wednesday when I visit the Library. If you want copies of the pages with your ancestors names please send me your address directly. The cemetery is about 50 miles from my home. Data from: Tecumseh Genealogical Club - Pottawatomie County Sacred Heart Cemeteries Pages(1) 225 - 229 (2)259- 252 (3)253-254 Hope this helps some.

Fred is correct in that I should have said far southeast Pottawatomie County, and the old map I have showing the cemeteries definitely shows them in Pottawatomie County, not Seminole County. So they are not at the intersection of Hwy 39 and Hwy 9A. They are on 39 but two miles west of the county line.

I believe the cemetery I am looking for was called "Mountain Peak Grave Yard" in the early 1900's and it is supposedly on top of "White Rock Mountain." Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? I don't have a county, but believe it may be in western Oklahoma and I don't know if White Rock Mountain is truly a mountain or maybe just the highest geographical point in the area. All help will be appreciated. Patricia

Hello, I have been corresponding with another gentleman that has helped me locate the cemeteries near Sacred Heart in Pott. Co., Ok. The following information is what he sent me. ========================================== I have located Sacred Heart on an old map that has all the cemeteries listed. The map shows two cemeteries in the same mile labeled "Sacred Heart" and one in the next mile labeled "Pottawatomie Indians". They are located in far south west Pottawatomie County near the intersection of Hwy. 39 and Hwy. 9A. The name of the cemeteries are: Pottawatomie Indian at Sacred Heart Sacred Heart Abbey Sacred Heart Parish ========================================== Is there anyone here on this list that lives near to these cemeteries that could do a lookup for me ? I would appreciate it ever so much and would be more than glad to reimburse you for any expenses. Thank you, Rebecca

I need help finding a cemetery on top of White Rock Mountain. I believe it is in western Oklahoma, but am not certain. Any information will really be appreciated. Patricia

Is there anyone on the list that lives near where Sacred Heart, Oklahoma used to be ? A little south of Shawnee ? If so I would be more than happy to reimburse you for a walk through the Sacred Heart Cemetery to try and locate my GGrandfather.

Oh, help is needed! Does anyone on the list have any information about the Connerville Cemetery located in Johnston County, Oklahoma? Is it still an active cemetery? If so, where would I write for information? I am researching the E. Newton Kelley Family who migrated to this area from Tennessee. Some Kelley's are buried there, but do not have head stones. Hopefully, this information would be in the records. Any input into this question would be very much appreciated. Judy Walters [email protected]

Judy, I believe Tishimingo is the county seat for Johnston county. They might be able to help you. Jann

I forgot to tell you that my Uncle Alvie was born ca 1904 in ARK. He died or was killed around 1929 or 1930. Thanks a bunch!

Woodmen of America have a website and they are very helpful. However, they do not keep records "forever". They sent me what they had on my great grandfather but his file was destroyed after the claim was paid. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2000 8:46 AM Subject: OK-CEMETERIES-D Digest V00 #17
