Skeleton Creek, near Enid, OK was once known as "Ephraim Creek" but in 1867, a cholera epidemic decimated a band of some one hundred refuge Shawnee and Caddo Indians camped along its banks. There were too many casualties to bury and their bodies were left where they died. In the following years the field skeletons blanketing the ground there resulted in its name being changed to "Skeleton Creek" in memory of the disaster.
