Grave site of Ka-tee Cockrum

Ka-tee Cockrum was buried at this site in 1884, in the first of an estimated 10 to 12 grave sites. By the mid-1920's, the site had deteriorated to the point that rocks were collected and used for a grain silo. The headstone was taken to the family homestead where it remained with the family until 1948 when it was moved with the family house to Wagoner. The gravestone was returned to the park in May 2000. An original picture of the grave is in the book "The Ray Community."

OklahomaState Park employees and Oklahoma Department of Correction inmates constructed this replica of the original structure. The Junior Ranger Class of 2001 and Oklahoma State Park employees built the fence.

The headstone of Charles Cockrum, the son of Ka-tee, was found near the North Ray Cemetery by Warren Hathcock and returned in the year 2000. The exact circumstances of its removal are unknown.
