Sandy you should also check with the Oklahoma Historical Society, they have an enormous amount of information and documents and archives. Pine Valley is a Ghost town now but they could give you more detailed information. They probably could tell you what cemetery you are looking for. Try them at:

Thank you- I need to find their burial and death dates, for my Dad, he
wants his Cherokee documented, he is in his 70s, I just had my 21 year
old son, give up a good job, to go live with my parents, to help care
for him. Really want to do this for my Dad. (my son has been there less
than a week, and if spazing over not finding a job there yet.)
