THE PERRYMAN CEMETERY
Tulsa, Oklahoma
This cemetery has
many rose bushes, honeysuckle vines, and some poplar trees, but is not
fenced. It is the allotment of George B. Perryman Jr., the son of
George B. Perryman, a Muskogee Creek Indian, who was a brother of Chief
Legus C. Perryman. George B. Perryman was one of the big cattlemen
who had large interests around Tulsa, Indian Territory. This allotment
is the North East Quarter of Section 19, Township 19 North, Range 13 East.
The homestead of George B. Perryman Jr., is the North East quarter of the
North West Quarter of Section 19, 19 North 13 East. The cemetery
needs some attention as I find twelve or more unmarked graves, including
that of Legus Choteau Perryman, who served two terms of office in 1887
and 1895, and was an officer in the Civil war.
Many fine homes
now surround the cemetery, one of which was that of Arthur Perryman, but
now belonging to C. C. Brown - 1646 E. 31st Street. It is built
on the site of my childhood home, where I lived with my mother China PARTRIDGE
and my father, "Sar-no-kitchee" Kouike (Partridge) whose house was about
two hundred and fifty feet North of the cemetery. Generally the Creek
Indians buried their home folks in some pretty spot in their own yard,
or near their home. The unmarked graves of my father, "Sar-no-kitchee
and my Aunt "Wisey" who was buried there about the year 1873, and others
are in the backyard of the former home of Arthur Perryman who bought five-hundred
feet square or five and 3/4 acres from George B. Perryman. The Five
and 3/4 acres touches at its South east corner, the Perryman Cemetery,
which is about one hundred and fifty feet square. I remember seeing
when a child several Indian graves on our yard, with little houses built
over them.
My father "Sar-no-kitchee",
was the original and former owner of the premises and was buried on his
own land beside his sister and these other old braves. I did not
file on that land because of the instructions to the Indians from the Interior
Department which were that Indians must not file on cemeteries or church
sites.
