Here's the numbers if anybody wants to contact the gift shop for those cemetery books. Pat For a free booklist from the Cherokee Nation Gift Shop call (918) 456-2793 or 1-800-256-2123 or visit the Web site at www.cnent.com. For a catalog or booklist from the Cherokee Museum Gift Shop call (918) 456-6007 or 1-888-999-6007 or visit the Web site at www.CherokeeHeritage.org.

I took a look at this web site and it was a bit like walking through a construction site to buy a pair of shoes that of course they didn't have in my size. The site looks like it has a lot of potential. There's a draw back in opening for business before you have anything to sell. The customer walks away feeling it was a waste of their time and their first experience was negative. Ken Brock http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ok/county/muskogee/ has lists of Muskogee County Cemeteries and maps with the locations, descriptions and some readings. Work in progress on more readings.

"Our People and Where They Rest" can be purchased from the Cherokee Nation Gift Shop in Tahlequah, OK. They can be bought individually or as a set. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2001 9:02 PM Subject: OKMUSKOG-D Digest V01 #179

As being and Indian Cemetery per se, nearly all cemeteries in Oklahoma have Indians buried in them. I never call them Indian, White or Black. You will find all races in some of the cemeteries. I'm sure there are a few that are called Indian Cemeteries. You need to contact the Muskogee County Genealogical Society and have them do a lookup for you at the Muskogee Library. Their address is listed one the Muskogee GenWeb page. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 10, 2001 11:26 AM Subject: Re: [OKMUSKOG] Re: Ft Gipson Cemetery > Is Ft.

Jeanne Here's some links I found online about the Katy railway. I tried to mail it to you personally but it came back to me so I'm posting it. These links say that the Katy railway was the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad and was later re-named the M-K-T and it ran from KS down into TX. There used to be a passenger train that ran through Muskogee back in the 50's & 60's but it's just freight trains going through there now. I made a round trip from Muskogee to San Antonio & back in 1957 and I loved it although it took over 15 hours each way. We stopped at every little place in between!! These looked like some pretty good links and hope they help you. If not, just put Katy Railroad in Oklahoma in MSN search engine and it pulls up a lot of them.
