Oakton was a place in Coryell County about 3 miles ne of Arnett, which is another community that has died away. Oakton contained a school, a church and some homes. The school only met for 6 months a year. Church of Christ members donated money to help build the building and had their services there. Your people are most likely buried near there without tombstones.
