      This section is made up of gravesites or deaths to which we have had some reference, but have found no actual gravesites.  Death certificates sometimes indicate burials as having been 'at home, on the farm, on the ranch, private cemetery,' etc.  Often these were infants.  Sometimes the burial was not made where the death certificate indicated.  Our main goal was to record known stones, not research deaths.  We have tried to make note of all known graves, even though no stones were found.

       Some of the earliest settlements were made in the south part of Coleman County and the time is not long past when many old timers could remember many graves south of Home Creek, but when fields were put in, the rock markers were moved away.

       On the Taylor Ranch west of Trickham, there are supposed to be several unmarked graves in a pasture.

       There are said to be at least two graves on the northeast side of the playground of the old school building at Whon... a Christopher Columbus Rushing and a Mc Millan girl.  Other long time residents of the Whon area say there are no graves there, so possibly there are graves at another old school site.

       There are said to be four graves on the Colorado River in what is known as Dempsy Bend.  Limestone rocks mark the final resting place of the Lemmon family.

       There is a grave in the field of the old H. B. Turney farm southeast of Whon.  This is the grave of a Mr. Thomas, thought to be kin to Boss Blackwell, killed by the Indians.

       There are graves on the old Watson place several miles southeast of Shields. The stone markers were moved to make way for plowed fields.

       On the T. J. Dalton farm southeast of Fisk, there are five graves thought to be the graves of Mexicans or sheepherders.  They have been there for many years and were once covered with shells and other decorations, placed there by Mexicans.  They have no markers now, but once had wooden crosses.

       Several unmarked graves are said to be in the area of the Coleman (railroad) Junction between Coleman and Santa Anna.
