Centralia Cemetery Monument of Martha J. Wilson, nee Daniel   811

Query posted by Wilson, Thomas on February 20, 2006 for , WILSON, DANIEL, HILDEBRAND, MILLER

My Great Grandmother was Martha J. Wilson, nee Daniel. She is buried in the Centralia Cemetery, Centralia, Craig Co, OK. Martha died May 10,1910. I am looking for the maker of her monument. The back of her monument has a poem, and when we were there a few years ago, we didn't know what the stone looked like till we found it. So we had no way of getting the poem off the back. It was worn and we did write down what we could read and took pictures. They helped somewhat, but we still cannot get all the poem. We were hoping to find the records from the monument maker to see what was put on it. The name side is very clear and readable. She is buried with her 3rd husband, Robert A. Wilson and 2 children who died young, Sadie and William Wilson near the center of the cemetery. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Thank you for the information! James died really young and it is hard to find anything on him. We have been looking for Mary Alcorn's grave for a long time. We had been told she was buried at Braggs OK, but they were not part of the family and were not for sure where they had got the information. Mary had taken her homestead allotment just North of Braggs, and it later became part of Camp Gruber. We know she was born Oct 15, 1840 but we do not know when she died. Is there some kind of record or paper that you could email a copy to me for my records? Also, we believe that the McCreary cemetery was another part of Mary's allotment. She took hers in several locations. Do you know of a source I could check to see if it is now owned by anyone? You have been a great help on several of my questions, and I appreciate you time and help. Thank you,

Mary Alcorn   809H

Query posted by Society, Craig County Genealogy on February 28, 2006 for , MCCRARY, ALCORN

Mary Alcorn, James R. McCrary, and Jack W. McCrary all received allotments T25-R20 section 17. The cemetery is in that section so it possible that it is on her allotment. Will have to check maps. There are McCrary allotments in other sections near Vinita as well. I know the people who own the land the cemetery is on. The cemetery is in bad condition as cattle were allowed to roam the pasture and all stones are down and many broken. The present owners did not know the cemetery was there when they bought the place. If you would like more info please e-mail us privately.

Hi Desiree. There are 9 books total. I'm assuming Jerry Wright Jordan didn't finish since the application numbers go higher than the 9th book. These books hold the misc. testimony pages to help connect your family before ordering the Guion Miller applications. It can give some vital information. I can send you what I have on the Pendergrass since I had done them from before. If you give me some more information like your grandmother's full name, married name, any dates, father & mother, siblings and children maybe I can help you.

I believe he leased the property from someone named Bennett. I don't know if the mine shaft was already dug or not. I do know he built all the above ground structors, or most of it anyway.

Cemetery Look Up MCGAUGH and Connection to TILEY   814

Query posted by Pound, Karl on March 27, 2006 for , MCGAUGH, TILEY

I was wondering if anybody sees a John A McGAUGH on a cemetery record for Craig County. He was living in what is presently Craig County in 1900 . I have information I have been unable to verify stating he died June 18, 1907. He was born in 1824. For that matter if there are any other McGaugh's buried in Craig County around that time frame I'd be curious to know (although I wouldn't expect to see any).
