person buried in the new cemetery. There may have been other
burials before Mehlhop, but he is the earliest recorded by headstone
records.
The cemetery is fenced on all four sides from the livestock in the
surrounding pastures. Virgil Cope, a Lipscomb County early settler
made steel gates and the welded Lipscomb Cemetery sign. Cope
donated his labor, material and time into the arched entry that is on
the north side of the cemetery.
There are four hundred fifty four (454) graves in the Lipscomb
cemetery and all are permanently marked. LaVaun Kraft, who has
printed a county cemetery book, has been actively working to secure
permanent markers for previously unmarked graves. Family
members, memorials and donations have bought thirty-five
permanent markers for previously unmarked graves, since Mrs. Kraft
started the marker campaign in 1998. (3)
Lipscomb's cemetery is surrounded by rolling hills of pasture land
Cottonwood trees line the banks of Wolf Creek on the North side.
The Lipscomb cemetery is one of the most peaceful attractive
cemeteries in our county.
