Very old graves outlined in stones- may have been part of a vault: 6522/6521/6536
Large piles of rocks some formed. Might have formed a informal vault at one time before tumbling or these could also have been part of the rock fence. 6528/6523
The top of a carved stone - no sign of where of how it belongs in this cemetery - no inscription. 6534/6535

Photographed on a cloudy Thursday 14 Apr 2016. The inscriptions were updated with exceptions found or known by C. Wayne Austin. This publication culminated from various sources. Listed on page 200-201 of the book Lincoln County County Cemeteries by Tim & Helen Marsh, abt 1978. Added here 30 Apr 2016. We were able to reconstruct the inscription of Emma Florence Thornton for the first time ever, but found  very little of much of the remains of this cemetery. It has been demolished for many years by neglect. Hope this site can continue to serve as the truth of who is buried where.
