The story is that back in the 1800s, during the migration of Mormons to
the Great Salt Lake, a few families came through this part of
Oklahoma. Along the way, smallpox swept through the group. A number of
the children died.

The Mormons had suffered Indian attack, and were afraid that the
Indians would desecrate the graves of their children if they marked
where they laid the children. Instead of putting up stones, they
planted tulips.



cute little story, BUT why would the indians desecrate the graves?
of all the peoples, that have settled in america, they seem the most unlikely!
