HARRAH, Okla. (KFOR) — The first time Dennis Sizemore walked this two acre plot west of Harrah, he needed a machete to get more than 10 feet.
“It was completely grown up,” he says. “A lot of brush, small trees, and grass four feet high.”
He couldn’t see the headstones at the old Kansas Cemetery or the foundation of what was once a school and community center.
“They came down from Kansas to open a school and settle in this area,” he explains.
Dennis grew up in Spencer and has a ranch nearby, so he knew this place existed. But he soon learned more about who was here; a Confederate Army surgeon for instance.
