Its saddens me when I see Oklahoma history deteriorating like Belle Starr's gravesite. Its probably happening more then we realize, all over the state. -Butch

I have been to lots of Cem, where work needs to be done,
My G-Grandparents are buried in a cow field that is lease out and the people who had it let the cows walk on the head stones as well as the graves, I have not got to visit this Cem, since there are no roads to it, you have to walk now, But is these gas prices ever let up i would like to spend some time cleaning it up,
Laflore Co has lots of these Cem, but no one seams to want to take the time to clean them up.

A few years ago, Me, Scott Bumgarner, and some relatives tried to get the Hillard guy from Sulphur, to write a bill in Oklahoma that would protect the ole pioneer and early day gravesites which are located on private property. Texas has such a law, and consequently, these graves are protected. They cannot be bulldozed or run over by cattle and such. Oklahoma doesn't have a law like this; but, the state surely needs this law. I would like to see some of you Okies get this Bill or Law passed. Mr Hillard said that he had written a bill such as this; but, it eventually died on the Senate or House floor. Now this was the first Hillard that was in office from Sulphur, not the current one which I believe is his brother.
The old cemetery, Oak Ridge, west of Davis about three and a half miles, and barely by 200 to 300 yards, it is in Garvin County, and is located on the property where the Pecan Valley Bed and Breakfast is located and contains several of my relatives. This old cemetery has been run over by cattle and trees have fallen on it.
It is in dire need of cleanup; but, the present owners don't want us in there. Really a shame.

Butch, I am related to Belle Starr and had the opportunity to go to the grave sight. We had to pay $5 each to go see it. I was very dissapointed in the condition of the grave. The owners of the property have done nothing to keep it up. Very sad.

My husband and I visited Belle Starr's grave back in 1998. Back then - Ms. Starr's grave was on private property owned by an elderly lady - Mrs. Hamilton. I live in Texas - but am wondering if Mrs. Hamilton is still alive. Belle Starr's grave is located in the woods in an area behind Mrs. Hamilton's little house. The grave back in 1998 was still in good shape - the fence was still around it, and the gravestone was still in good shape. I haven't been able to make a trip back to Oklahoma - what a beautiful state it is.
Anyone know anything about Mrs. Hamilton?
Thanks

FYI, Dr. Hood of Tulsa purchased the 30+ acres on which Belle's grave is located. He's reconstructed a period cabin on the site and marked a trail from the highway to her grave. Check out his Facebook page called Youngers Bend: www.facebook.com/pages/Youngers-Bend/109330429105067 |
