Styles: Bale Tomb/Barrel Tomb

This is a wonderful bale/barrel tomb located at Oaklawn Cemetery in Tulsa, OK. Sadly there is no names or dates anywhere to be found. There is a lot tag which is visible in the photo that reads 251. If you are familiar with this grave I would love to know who is buried here.

Located at Oaklawn Cemetery in Tulsa, OK.

I like this picture because you can see the tall buildings in the back ground showing how much Tulsa has grown since A.D. Orcutt settled this area.

Instead of me telling all about this gentleman I will refer you to a blog where his information has been very nicely written up. Click this link http://www.tulsagal.net/2009/07/orcutt-family.html and it will take you staright to it.

Here is some additional information I was able to find. The following is from A history of the state of Oklahoma By Luther B. Hill.

I also found some information at The Naming Of Oakland, AR that mentions him and his family.
