Heirship Notices for Choctaws and Chickasaws Coal Lands Payment1949-05-28unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_001_4_6_72_0010Mr. Wilmoth is inquiring about the payment to the members of the Choctaws and Chickasaws for the sale of their coal lands to the government. The Indian Office will distribute the share of deceased members to their heirs, but proof of heirship notices must be completed and returned before payment is made. The Superintendent in Muskogee, Oklahoma will handle all claims, and payment for living enrolled members will come first. Mr. Wilmoth is advised to write to the Superintendent to request heirship notices for his deceased relatives. Congressman Carl Albert offers further assistance if needed.
