22 OCT 2020, Memorial notes at or near time of transfer. Added gender. 1) Original bio from creator of memorial is below divider. Edited for readability and clarity.~ Born, Cherokee Nation East; s/o John Jack Ward & Catherine McDaniel (Cherokee); husband of Lucy Mayes, buried here. Parents of 11 children. Family history recorded (that) George was killed in (the) Civil War by "Pin" Indians invading his Indian land. [NOTE: I think the emphasis the creator of the memorial made with regard to "Indian Land," was made here to illustrate that this was an instance of a renegade band of Native Americans who killed a fellow Native American and had entered up on to his land, as opposed to being killed by one of the two military factions of the Civil War]
