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:

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.
