Mamie Baggett (later an 'e' was added to the last name) was born on New Years Day, 1 January, 1893, to Thomas Jackson Baggett and Pearl Holt in Going Snake District, Indian Territory (what is now Westville, Adair County, Oklahoma). She was the second of four children, all girls, born to this couple. She grew to adulthood wanting to better the lives of her people. Her great-grandfather was Redbird Sixkiller, a Cherokee Indian from eastern Georgia who survived the Trail of Tears 'relocation' march to Indian lands. Her great-grandmother was a white girl from Georgia who was murdered by bushwhackers in front of her children during the Civil War. Mamie became a teacher in Indian Schools, notably at the San Carlos Indian Reservation in Gila County, Arizona, among others. Her husband worked with the administration in Indian Affairs as Mamie taught the Indian children. She passed away at the age of 89 in Globe, Arizona, and is buried in the Tahlequah Cemetery, in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, with her husband. No known children were born of this union.
