Staff Only

Mrs. Nina Brown received a letter from Congressman Carl Albert regarding payment for the sale of coal lands to the Choctaws and Chickasaws. The letter explains that living enrolled members will be paid first, with checks mailed out by the Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes Agency. Deceased members' shares will be paid to their heirs, who will need to provide proof of heirship. Mrs. Brown inquires if she needs to be present to receive the money and if she needs to provide a birth certificate. Congressman Albert responds that she does not need to be present and may not need a birth certificate, but it is important that the Agency has her correct address. He also mentions that proof of heirship notices will be sent out to heirs for completion.
