The Corntassel Cemetery is located in Adair County, OK. It was founded in 1891. This is a small rural cemetery located just outside of Westville, Oklahoma. The cemetery is located on Ross Swimmer Road, which turns left off Highway 62 west. It is approximately half a mile down the road. The road will diverge, splitting into two different roads; stay on the low road, which leads to the cemetery. The cemetery is enclosed by a metal gate. There is a sign with large white letters that reads "Corntassel Cemetery 1891". Many of the stones in this cemetery have limited information on them; for instance, some of them do not have birth or death dates (if no birth/death dates are listed in the transcription, then they're not on the stone). Some stones have the deceased's name written in black paint (i.e., the stones are not engraved). There are also a number of blank (or illegible) stones. In one corner of the cemetery, there are about a dozen blank gravestones heaped together in a stack. The cemetery is located in a nice, quiet location. All commentary or questions regarding this transcription may be directed to archangel505@yahoo.com. This transcription was done on June 10, 2001 by Randal Seyler, Shannon Seyler, and C.F. Roberts.
NOTE: I received a note from a member of the Corntassel family stating that the cemetery has been improved since the time this transcription was done.
