Despite the name of Akins Cemetery, there are no relatives with the last name of Akin buried here. The cemetery got its name by being in the city of Akins, Oklahoma.
Many descendents of Samuel Lattimore (great, great, great grandfather and second husband of Akey Walkingstick) are buried here.

Nancy Faulkner Lattimore
1851 - 1924
Nancy Lattimore was married to Samuel Lattimore (Abt. 1847-1883), son of Samuel Lattimore and Akey Walkingstick, brother of Nancy Lattimore Whitsett (great, great grandmother). She is often mistakenly noted as having been married to the elder Samuel Lattimore. This family's genealogy does get confusing in that there are many Samuel Lattimores to try to keep straight. After her husband Samuel's death, Nancy married a man with the last name of Cornelius.

EZEKIEL LATTIMORE FAMILY
(SON OF SAMUEL LATTIMORE AND NANCY FAULKNER)
Ezekiel S. Lathimore
December 5, 1888 - January 10, 1930
NOTE: This headstone confuses me for a variety of reasons and I'm not sure now that it is the correct grave. The birth year is definitely wrong. Ezekiel (son of Samuel Lattimore and Nancy Faulkner) was born around 1870 according to his Dawes packet. It's possible that this could be a grave of his son or a son of another relative, although I have not found another Ezekiel with these dates. Also, the last name on the headstone is "Lathimore." This grave is referenced as being Ezekiel's in many genealogical sources and I'm not sure what to make of this. It could be the wrong grave altogether or have the name misspelled and the dates wrong.
The next photo is of Mary E. Lattimore's grave. She was definitely the wife of Ezekiel.

Perry Lee Lattimore, son of Samuel Mayes Lattimore, Jr., grandson of Ezekiel Lattimore, and great grandson of Samuel Lattimore and Nancy Faulkner. For some reason he has two tombstones.

Charley Arthur Floyd
aka "Pretty Boy Floyd"
February 3, 1904 - October 22, 1934
Pretty Boy Floyd's grave is probably the most popular in Akins Cemetery. He is somewhat related to our family. His sister, Mary Floyd, married Perry Lee Lattimore, great grandson of Samuel & Akey (Walkingstick) Lattimore.
