Hi, Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Gary Wilson. I live in Cortez, Co. The Four Corners area. My ggrandmother is buried in Le Flore Co. Her name is Amanda Adaline Wyatt. One of her daughters, Carrie May, twin to William, born May 8, 1889, in Howe, OK is my ggrandmother. I don't think it should be Oklahoma. My question is this-My information shows Amanda passed away in 1894. Buried Mountain View Cemetery, Glendale, Le Flore County, OK. After it became a stae then this would be right. In 1894 was there such a place as Le Flore county and also it was not Oklahoma yet. What would be the proper way to write this down? This area was known as Indian territory right? The information I also have is that this cemetery is behind a church next to a dam? and the town of Glendale no longer exists ? I do have a picture of her headstone, I just want to get the right location for it. Thank you ! Gary Wilson

Hi, my name is Juanita Bradshaw, I have several of my family members buried in Glendale Cemetery, I have been there hundreds of times, I dont think I understand your question, It is not close to a dam, and as far as I know its always been Mt View Cemetery at Glendale,Oklahoma and its near Howe, Oklahoma because my Aunt still lives there, You have some people in my book that use to live in Howe, Just write your info down because your ggrandmother is there, good luck, Juanita At 02:49 PM 11/22/2002 -0700, you wrote: >Hi, >Please allow me to introduce myself.

One purpose of giving the location of a cemetery is so that others can find it. I think that you should be using LeFlore County as the location. You could then make a notation that it was formerly Indian Territory. Margaret McCleskey Gary Wilson wrote: > Hi, > Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Gary Wilson.
