   Flats recently suffered the indignation of being dug up and moved to a
   new location nearby. It is now located four miles west, one mile
   south, .07 miles west, and 1 1/2 miles south of Stratford. It was
   named for an early day school located near the original site. The
   stone inscriptions are given as read. additional information is from
   the records of the Stufflebean Funeral HOme of Pauls Valley, Okla
