Staff Only

Mrs. Josie Allison Hawton received a letter from Congressman Carl Albert regarding payment to members of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations for the sale of their coal lands to the government. The letter states that living enrolled members will be paid first, with checks likely being mailed out in mid-July. The share of deceased members will be paid to their heirs, who will need to provide proof of heirship to receive their portion of the payment. The letter advises Mrs. Hawton to work with the local Indian Agent to file her claims and offers further assistance if needed.
