PERRYMAN CEMETERY, Tulsa, Oklahoma
The Perryman family Cemetery, one of Tulsa' oldest
landmarks is located at the corner of 32nd Street and Utica Avenue, was laid out in 1848,
a 150 x 150 foot plot, by Lewis Perryman, a Creek Indian who owned most of what is
now Tulsa. Lewis settled on Adams Creek about seven miles north and east of Broken Arrow
in 1839 and in 1848 cholera plague caused the family to establish a new home south of
Tulsey Tulova, Indian Territory. That year, Lewis built an impressive log house north of
what is now 33rd Street and Rockford Avenue. The cemetery was then part of Perryman's
60,000 acre cattle ranch, which ran from the Arkansas River to Lynn Lane and from down
Tulsa to Broken Arrow. Civil War soldiers were buried here in their blankets also as well
as settlers with no burial sites of thier own. There is a real good chance that neighbors
have houses built on top of Indian graves. All people buried there were either related to
the Perrymans or were close friends. The Perryman Cemetery is owned and maintained by the
Tulsa county historical Society.
