My ACKLEYs and Richard CHILDERS arrived in Pawnee County in 1878 and are allegedly buried in the Sinnett Cemetery. Various notes that I've seen from other researchers put this cemetery in Tulsa and/or Cleveland and/or near Pawnee. I happened to be in Cleveland this weekend (without my notes...This was a spur of the moment search!) and asked at a local funeral home. A kind man directed me to a location one mile east of the convenience store in nearby Hallett. We arrived near sunset, found no identifying sign on the small, well-kept cemetery but made a quick walkthrough. Found no ACKLEYs, but am not certain that I was even at the right location. My Ackleys have been buried for so long that I am afraid their tombstones might have deteriorated or are covered by the earth from some hard rainfall's mud. I hope to return and do a "proper" search sometime but thought I would ask you all first: Anyone know where the SINNETT CEMETERY is located? ACKLEY, Sherman b. 1827 in PA>WV>KS>Keystone, I.T. and Richard CHILDERS (d. 1891) m. Lucy Ann ACKLEY (d. 1888). Thank you, Sandy
Sandy....I have personally been to Sinnett Memorial Cemetery 4 times and have a list of all stones there on my computer at home. I will check to see if your people are there. Also, my database is actually for all cemeteries in Pawnee County, with additional information from old cemetery censuses, funeral home records and some obits. So if the name turns up in another cemetery, I will let you know of that.....Mahlon Erickson PS...I do not have the location with me, but it is a mile west of Highway 64 about a mile or two south of where highway 64 curves southeastward towards the bridge over Keystone Lake. I will send a legal description later. The cemetery one mile east of Hallet is Bethany cemetery (on both sides of the county road). Sinnett Cemetery is the to which graves from Keystone Cemetery are said to have been moved when Keystone Lake flooded the area and the town of Keystone was flooded.....MGE ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2001 12:59 PM Subject: [OK-CEM] Sinnett Cemetery location?
