Cathline, North Fork Town was several miles east of the present town of Eufaula. There were several cemeteries nearby. Old Town, Asbury, and others. The area was inundated by the Lake in 1965, but all known burials there were recorded and relocated to other local cemeteries. That information is available on the McIntosh County OKGenWeb site. The URL is below. There is a search engine of the entry page. Good luck.
