The definitive book on the newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix is: Cherokee Editor - The Writings of Elias Boudinot, edited by Theda Perdue. Published by University of Georgia Press, Athens, GA, 1996. This book, which I proudly own, contains the most important articles published by this remarkable newspaper. It was published not only in English, but also in the new Cherokee written language invented by Sequoyah. Gordon W. Pace
>From the Oklahoma Place names book: Caddo County. A county in west-central Oklahoma In area slightly reduced from the size of the territorial county of the same name. The name is that of an indian tribe and stems from *kaadi* meaning "chief".

It was the Cherokee Phoenix, so named becasue like the Phoenix, the Cherokee nation rose from the "ashes" so to speak after the removal from their homeland. Elias Boudinot was Cherokee, and Major Ridge also wrote articles for the paper. A gret book that has all this info "the Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation" by John Ehle . Cindy

At least this isn't one of those little family plots... the kind that doesn't show up on even the topographical maps [unless you count a small unlabeled spot of green vegetation surrounded by fields, recognizeable as a cemetery only AFTER you've found it and checked it out]. Having taken my share of road trips, I'd like to offer a word of advice to anyone contemplating a trip into an unknown area. If at all possible, take along a native guide IN ADDITION TO a map. F'rinstance -- I hadn't been to what the family called the Collins cemetery since the early 50s, even though it was less than 5 miles from home. "Knew" where it was, of course, but had no reason to go there. Then the genealogy bug bit and I decided to check it out. Couldn't find it again. Finally talked my mother into a field trip. We found: 1. I'd been searching along the wrong section line. 2. What had been shrubby in the early 50s was now covered with full-grown blackjacks [just enough like the location I remembered that I did recognize it once we got there]. 3. The tombstones were gone. To cap it all, it turned out that the abandoned cemetery wasn't on the COLLINS place after all -- it was on the CATRON place. In short, if my mother hadn't come along as guide I could have gone right past it without realizing it. I still suspect that some of the COLLINS family were buried there as that's the best explanation I can come up with for the misinformation handed down in the family. But there's no one left who knows. Sharon McAllister 73372.1745@compuserve.com

The following entries are in the Index for "Our People and Where they rest": LINAM Mary E Terrell Maxine D Nella N Richard A Three Fourth If any of these are familiar, let me know I will look up the cemetary listings for the individuals in the actual volumes.

Anybody have access to Gainesville, TX, Cooke County Newspapers from 1945 and 1947? I would love a lookup for: MASK, Rosa Maude (Hurd) d. 30 Jan 1947 MASK, Felix Johnson d. 3 Jan 1945 (and yes, I will ask a genie angel in TX, but just in case yall can get to it before them...) Nalora
Checked with the Indian Archives (downstairs from the library) and they do not have the individual leases, but they do have a "large file" on this association. Put on your little white gloves and come and have a look see. 8) Nalora
