I have a copy
of the John F. Brown Cemetery plats in Sasakwa, OK
My great grandparents are buried in this cemetery with Gov. Brown. My
great grandfather worked in his store at Sasakwa, interpreted for him,
and traveled with him. My grandmother went to school with his children
and her mother kept house for him at his mansion. I know that he had a
son named Todd Brown and a daughter named Joanna Brown Harbet. I visited
Joanna (Josie) a few times as a child.
Here are the names from the graves:
Andrew Jackson Brown OKLAHOMA
lst Sgt. Co. G 18 Ammo. Tn.
World War 1 1889 1958
Margaret Burt - Born in ___eland 1837 1888
Sarah Brown l878 l933
John F. Brown l843 1919
Chief of the Seminole Nation
A Servant to his Country
Elizabeth A. Brown l862 - 1902
Ruthie
N. J. Brown Apr - Dec 1882
Bernice
Jno. W. Brown d July 16 1899
George B. Stratton May 8 1997
Mollie J. Stratton 1879 - l932
The Stratton's are my great-grandparents. I used to know who the other
people are but have long since forgotten and as far as I know I don't
have it written anywhere. It seems that one or two of his wives are
buried here.
Please contact me if you would like to share information.
