We visited Pawhuska, Oklahoma, mainly to have fajitas at the Hernandez Café. The fajitas were actually pretty good, but I was frustrated by the fact that they had beer advertising all over the restaurant, but, because it was Sunday, they weren't selling any beer at all. Annoying!

We also drove into downtown to glance at Pawhuska's restored yet still haunted opera house. We hoped for a tour, but there wasn't one. Then we drove off to the town's cemetery to see the grave of Ben Johnson, an actor who has been in a number of westerns, and who was in Mighty Joe Young, the old version, not the bizarre remake.

It was a beautiful and fascinating old cemetery that is still in use. Huge, ornate, and obviously expensive monuments stood next to stones people had made by hand. The monument of a woman named Nancy Harrison was a large hunk of limestone stuck into the ground with the name scratched into it with a nail. The date of death was 1904, but the scratches were still legible. Alice Sumter's handmade marker, in place, I assume, since 1923, isn't even buried in the ground. Anybody could just pick it up and walk off with it; happily, they haven't. Many members of the Osage tribe, including chiefs and their families, are buried there. We walked there a long time before heading home.
