- *Burials on the Indian Reservation are largely confined to three cemeteries.
The one most used lies almost across the road from the former Thomas Indian School,
another is located next to the Piney Woods Presbyterian Church on the Four Mile Level [Rt. 438]
and a third is near the Longhouse in Newtown [west of Lawtons].
Reference has been made to the rarely used Indian burial ground at Taylor Hollow.
Also the old cemetery back of the Baptist church [Rt. 438] is seldom used.
When doing excavation for construction of buildings at the Thomas Indian School about 1900
[and again around 1996] a few Indian skeletons were discovered indicating that this area had once been an Indian burial ground.- From: Painter, Levinus K.,
