Their information (including any diagrams or maps) is given here as a historical reference and is presented "as is." Their book, like many such cemetery listing compilations, may contain errors. As with any genealogy information, this is merely a "source" and should be considered as such. It falls upon the end-user to verify the accuracy. See their map for use as a quick locator tool for graves here. The set of books are available at many Oklahoma libraries. Once freely available for online viewing, the OPAWTR volumes can now be accessed only at a LDS Family History Library, a partner library, or a Family History Center. (LDS)

2) Sorrow in other ways has hit Colcord country. Sometime about 1910 some of the Buchanan family were on their way from the Colcord country to Pryor, traveling by wagon. It had rained and flooded some of the creeks. As they came to Dry Creek several miles west and north of Colcord, the creek was up and the party waited a long time until the creek went down some. Thinking it safe to cross the ford they drove off into the water. The water was still swift and swept the wagon away. Of the Joe Buchanan family, a daughter, Anna Buchanan Ballard, and her mother were drowned. They were brought back to their home about three miles west of Colcord and buried in the Buchanan Family cemetery. (From an interview by Andrew Thompson, May 20 1970. 82 years old.
