There was a train wreck in which several people may have been killed, no 
personnel of the railroads were killed. Two unidentified hobos that were riding
the rails were killed and buried near the railroad track. These graves are north
of the correctional institution at Stringtown, in Atoka County, Oklahoma.  

The area is within a white board fence; one grave faces east and one grave faces
south, both have sandstone markers.

The above information was given to J.W. Stephenson by Jack Barlow, "Katy" agent 
in North McAlester, Oklahoma. Jack believed the accident was around 1920.
