What follows is a transcript of an article detailing the Old Soldiers attending the reunion at Maramec, Pawnee County OK in Sept 1910. I have copied the text as it was in the article. The old soldiers are listed in table form in columns as written up in the actual article. I have added an extra column, on that did NOT appear in the article, to identify the cemetery in which the veteran is buried. Then follows a list of MRC members in attendance as listed in the article.

If you know of burial sites for any of these men, please contact me at Mahlon Erickson, 2205 W. 5th, Stillwater OK 74074

MARAMEC CAPTAIN
9 Sept 1910 p1 c1

Reunion Was Big Success

The big reunion of Old Settlers and old Soldiers was quite a success despite the high winds which blew both days and carried a large amount of dust with it, Haner Bros., Wild Wests and J.G. and C.M. Comedy Co. shows were all with us, besides merry go-rounds, swings, doll racks and other amusements. Plenty of refreshment stands were on the grounds to accomodate the public, while plenty of shade, good clean ice water, tents, seats, ect. went to make the visitors happy and comfortable.

While some of the prominent speakers could not be here as promised other good wones filled the places and most of the program was carried off very satisfactory.

The home band did credit to themselves by playing during this reunion both up town and at the grounds. The citizens of maramec are justly proud of this band as they do splendidly for the time they have been organized.

We noticed many visitors from our neighboring towns who seemed to enjoy this occasion very much, especially the boating and sham battle on the lake Saturday night.

The committee decided to make this reunion an annual affair and to make it bigger and better every year and will put forth every effort for the comfort and pleasure of its visitors.

As this town is beatiffully situated and ajoins a large lake and plenty of trees which furnish shade and a camping place for all who may wish to come, we can truthfully say it is a good a place as anyone would want to be to spend a few days off duty for recreation and amusement.

Below we give a list of Old Soldiers and Women's Relief Corps who registered while here:
