Description:

May 22. Mayor Paul F. Mitchum repeats ancient Indian philosophy, "Though I am dead The sun will glow, the stream will flow, the grass will grow" in expressing his gratification that the U.S. House subcommittee on Interior Indian Affairs had agreed to hold a hearing in K.C.K. since many of the persons qualified to speak on the historical merits of the cemetery were not heard. June 9. K.C. Kansan and K.C. Times report on the investigation of apparent infringements on the Huron Park Indian cemetery boundaries by the city and business buildings facing Seventh street. Two realty officials of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, George W. Mathis, chief appraiser for the bureau, and A.H. Harris, realty officer for the Muskogee, Oklahoma area, arrived in KCK on June 8th.
