Lillie Morrell Burkhart was a wealthy Osage woman living near Ralston, Oklahoma in Pawnee County in the early 20th century. When she passed away in 1967, she had a will that clearly laid out her wishes: her home is to be kept as a shrine to her ancestor Chief White Hair. She left her land, her country house and her two headrights to the Oklahoma Historical Society.
