This cemetery is on the Qualls Road between S. Burnt Cabin Road and W. Stone
Chapel Road off highway 82 going to Tenkiller.
Cannot give the exact mileage marker at this time. The Mission has a Church as
well. Also, on the same road is the White Oak Cemetery.

Also, there might be
Grover Bishop,(1894-1980)
a quite colorful gentlemen
of Cherokee Co. He was the depty/sherriff back in the 1903"s and reputed to be
very effective lawman bringing in outlaws. Reportedly killed more outlaws than
Wyatt Earp. There are several stories(whether true or not) and books
regarding him. Beside him is his wife, Carrie, and a woman who lived with
Bishop taking care of him and his wife for several years.
