The death certificate states that the burial was to occur at the Oakdale Cemetery in Mountain View, Oklahoma. However, Find a Grave reports that the burial was actually in Oakdale Cemetery, across the county line (the river) in Washita County, in old Oakdale. The memorial also locates it strangely, in Cowden. But Cowden is quite a ways off and there are other cemeteries between Cowden and Oakdale. Oakdale Cemetery is only 2 miles north of Mt View, but across the river to the north.
