DUNCAN CEMETERY

A History of the Duncan Cemetery

By Earl Strebeck, 1982

The Duncan Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in the Sallisaw, Oklahoma area. It was first an Indian burial site then later a community cemetery. Early graves indicate that people were buried there long before Oklahoma statehood. Traditional stories say that the Indians buried their dead without coffins, the deceased wrapped only in a blanket. Their graves are marked with piles of stones.

The cemetery is located at the northeast edge of Sallisaw and the property surrounding it is now owned by Mr. Barney Cheek. Its name was taken from an early resident of Sequoyah County, Dan Duncan, affectionately called "Uncle Dan."

Dan Duncan was born in Lampton, Georgia, May 25, 1860 and died at his home near the cemetery on January 7, 1941. He came from Georgia to Oklahoma as a boy of twelve with his parents, John Thomas and Mary (Martin) Duncan. 1

Hardly was the family settled in Oklahoma when Dan's father and his uncle, Perd Welch, returned to Georgia to seek their fortune. Unfortunately his father fell ill and died there leaving Dan, his mother and three other children to fend for themselves in Oklahoma. They lived at Stilwell, Oklahoma until Dan was twenty (1880) at which time they moved to the Lee's Creek area in Sequoyah County where they stayed for five years. In 1885, the Duncans moved to Sallisaw and in 1888, they bought the farm on which the Indians burial site was located. 2

According to Mrs. Beatrice (Mattox) Vann of near Sallisaw, who was born in the Duncan's home, Dan built a log house for his family near the burial site (about one-half a city block west of the present cemetery.) The log house had two large rooms with an open hall, about fifteen feet wide between the rooms. A fireplace was built on each end of the house with a lean-to kitchen attached to the back of one of the rooms. Later according to Mrs. Vann, Dan enclosed the open hall and stocked it as a small general store.

On June 25, 1896, Dan's mother Mary (also called Aunt Polly) died. Since there were no cemeteries in the area, Dan decided to bury her at the Indian burial site. Thereafter, he made sure that all the graves were carefully cared for. Because his mother's grave was there and because he owned the property, the burial site, in time, became known as the Duncan Cemetery. 3

In 1908, Dan built a small church between his house and the cemetery. It was called the Duncan Mission and at first it was affiliated with the Methodist Church and was served by Methodist circuit ministers. As time went on, the mission became an open-church where any religious groups was welcome to meet and worship. 4

After his mother's death, Dan married Fannie Mattox whose parents, Hardie and Mary Mattox had moved to Sallisaw from Springfield, Missouri in 1895 to teach in the Subscription Schools of Sallisaw. At about the same time, Dan's younger bother, Tom, married Fannie's sister, Maude. Not long after their marriage, Fannie was stricken with an illness that left her an invalid and she was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Although confined to a wheelchair, Fannie did not give up. She managed to keep her house, cook, wash and sew as well and in some cases better than most ladies. 5

Sallisaw was established in 1888. During its early years the city had no cemetery and its residents began to bury their dead at the Duncan Cemetery. About 1902, Dan offered the Duncan Cemetery to the City of Sallisaw as a City Cemetery. At the same time, John Childers offered property southwest of Sallisaw for the same purpose. The situation was voted on at Sallisaw and the Childers location was accepted because of its proximity to the town. 6

After 1902, many of the older citizens of Sallisaw "still" continued to use the Duncan Cemetery. One such family was the Denton family. Jude James G. Denton was buried in the Duncan Cemetery in 1914. Denton had served as the first Justice of the Peace of Sallisaw after statehood in 1907. He had also served in this capacity and other civic offices both before and after Oklahoma became a state. Denton Avenue in Sallisaw was named for him. 7 His obituary printed in the Sallisaw Star Gazette on October 9, 1914 says, "He was buried at the Duncan Cemetery where so many of the old-timers of this section of the country have been placed."

Some other families from Sallisaw that continued to bury their deceased at Duncan Cemetery were: the Bracketts, Buttrams, Byrds, Dixons, Holders, Loggains, Palmers, McMurtreys, Philpots, Pinkertons, Rigsbys, Yandells and Youngs.

The following article was taken from the Sallisaw Star Gazette, May 17, 1912, and it is an example of the many past Decoration Days at Duncan Cemetery:

The Dan Duncans had no children of their own but they were looked upon by those, who needed them, as parents. Their home, church and cemetery were made available to all at no charge! Their sincere generosity won them the love and the respect of all who knew them. Their exemplary way of living belongs to that period of time that we now call the "Old School" which sadly seems to have vanished from our modern world. As they aged, the Duncans were called Uncle Dan and Aunt Fannie, a colloquial title given to elderly people of great respect. 8

On August 1, 1935, Aunt Fannie died and six years later on January 7, 1941, Uncle Dan followed her. They were buried near the center of the Duncan Cemetery. Dan's only survivors were his brother Tom, and his family. In time, Tom's family moved to Fort Smith, Arkansas, as so often is the case, the little Duncan Community began to fall into neglect. 9 Each year that passed took its toll and by the 1950's the house and church were razed. The only thing left today of the homesite is a sandstone covered wall (just south of the lane to the cemetery.)

The cemetery by 1960 was a tangled jungle.The fence had fallen over in several places and tombstones were overturned as livestock roamed freely over the graves. Thoughtless hunters had used several of the tombstones for target practice and some unfortunate people had even cut the evergreens for Christmas trees. Things were a mess.

In the early 1960's, Mr. Jim Dixon, Mr. Alex Denton and boys from the Sallisaw Neighborhood Youth Corps, made an attemp to cut away some of the large overgrowth that swamped the cemetery10 but without continuted maintenance it soon came back. Things are beginning to look almost hopeless.

In the early 1965, Mrs. Kate Strebeck, knowing that she was dying, told her children that she wanted to be buried at Duncan Cemetery where several of her children, grandchildren and friends had been buried. At the time, there were many objections to her being buried there, especially after some of her children got a good look at the cemetery. But she insisted, saying that the Duncans were like parents to her (since her own parents had died when she was very young.) She went further and warned them that if her wish were not carried out, she would come back to haunt them!

Kate Strebeck died on September 12, 1965 and was buried at Duncan Cemetery. About two weeks later, her husband, Dan Strebeck died and was buried by her side. They were the first to be buried there after 1945.

Following the burial of his parents, Tim Strebeck decided to improve the condition of the Duncan Cemetery. He had known the Duncans and shared his mother's love for them. Tim wasted no time in getting started. He cut brush, overgrown trees and dug stumps. It took weeks and months of laborious cutting, chopping, piling and burning. With little help, he filled holes in graves, repaired the broken tombstones, and set them back in place. He also mended and replaced much of the fence. By 1967 he had the cemetery cleared enough so it could be mowed and trimmed.

Tim located families of the deceased buried in the cemetery, created a Cemetery Board and collected money for the future care of the cemetery. In 1968, Earl Strebeck (Tim's nephew) drew plans for a cemetery entrance with brick posts and side buttresses. With the help of grateful gifts of money, the brick work was soon done. Plans for the iron work, made the two gates and a curving sign, "Duncan Cemetery" which was placed above the gates. Earl shipped these things to Sallisaw as his contribution to the cause. When completed, the entrance was beautiful!

Since 1968, plans have been made to put a new fence around the cemetery but this still remains to be completed.

It has been said that time is man's worst enemy and it is true that time did erase most of the work of Dan Duncan. His home, store and church are all gone but his cemetery remains. Duncan Cemetery is as graceful and serene as ever and with the continued help of those who share an interest in the history of Sallisaw and Sequoyah County, it will always be a proper tribute to this early pioneer.

Decoration at Duncan Cemetery is Memorial Day.
