Legendary Lawman Sam Sixkiller

Captain Sixkiller’s funeral took place on Sunday morning at 11 o’clock at the M. E. church and was conducted by Cherokee lodge A. F. and A. M., of Tahlequah. The turnout was such that the church could not contain it as friends and fellow lawmen would come from every part of the Territory. The procession following the service was one of the largest ever assembled in this part of the country.
