The mission you speak of still stands and is located 4 miles west of Apache and about 1 1/2 miles south of state highway 19. The cemetery is just north of the mission and a couple of hundred yards to the east on the north side of the road with the arch still standing; and the cemetery is still being used today. There is no online data of the people buried in this cemetery that I know of, I have searched this as I have been researching my family history. However; the Lawton public library does have a book in the genealoy section that contains the information of the markers in that cemetery.

There is another cemetery named Cache Creek that is located on the same sw quarter section of the KCA Cache Creek cemetery. Now this cemetery does have a database online and can be found through OkGenWeb genealogy site in Caddo county. If you do not find who you are looking for you will have to make a trip to the Lawton library.

You are correct about the Carithers being involved with the mission, and I'm pretty sure that he was a minister and that he preformed the marriage ceramonies for some of my ancestors.

I know that this is an old posting and hope that you still check it from time to time.

Good luck
