We had the plaque donated from a local company Which did, in fact only list the persons buried in the graveyard that did not have a marker. At the time, there were 14 markers, but between 40 and 50 people buried in the cemetery. We wanted to give recognition to those that did not have a marker. The sign you see today is the sign that was installed during my restoration of the cemetery. Many events took place during the restoration of the cemetery including stump removal, landscaping, trees planted, flowering bushes, and general maintenance, With a promise from the city of Sand Springs to continue to maintain the cemeteries appearance for years to come. Which in my opinion, was not fully honored. I am in contact with the city in hopes of another restoration project.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474629722181952448.post-34815260309898969472023-06-22T00:16:11.194-05:002023-06-22T00:16:11.194-05:00John TurnerJohn TurnerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474629722181952448.post-61212170985512961392023-02-19T23:18:46.410-06:002023-02-19T23:18:46.410-06:00It's very interesting to see so many descendan...It's very interesting to see so many descendants of dr stacey.

The grandson<br />of GeorgeThomas Ray was visiting the area and discovered a different story in local<br />history than what he had known. It was his prior understanding that the his grandfather<br />had ridden into town with with the Lockes and Fischers to help clean out the Unionist<br />party in Neosho. They had come for retaliation of a Unionist attack in Butler Mo.<br />As tensions rode high in the area, the Southern Partisian Ranger Party formed in numbers<br />to run the Unionists out to combat more local retaliation. Thomas Ray had been shot that<br />day thinking that he had been part of the battling parties.<br />What was later reported was that Thomas Ray was out on furlough just six days after the<br />battle of Pea Ridge. He had ridden into town that day to conduct business . He was<br />there on behalf of his immediate family as well as younger brothers and sisters.<br />As he rode into town he had found trouble waiting for him, thinking he was a Unionist.<br />When he was challenged to leave by R.V Keller and others from the Southern Partisian Rangers,<br />he refused. Which ended up with him being shot in the head.<br />On March 14th 1962 this tombstone was placed 100 years to the date by Tom Ray's grandson to<br />Vindicate his death. This info was found on the Geocaching web site on a cache that is in this cemetery. Not sure of it's validity.
