Lynch Cemetery is located 8 miles southeast of Albany near the Ibex Community on FM Road 601. The cemetery began in the summer of 1875 as the final resting place of J. A. Leflet, a young cowboy who worked for the Lynch family on what was then called Fairview Ranch. Founders of the ranch, John C. Lynch and his wife Fannie, arrived in this part of Shackelford County in the 1860's after coming to nearby Stephens County with Fannie's family, the Peter Gunsolus family. The Lynch family soon began accumulating land and cattle, eventually built themselves a large ranching operation. After Mr. Leflet was buried in 1875 on a rise a quarter of a mile from the Lynch home, other cowboys on the ranch who died were also buried there, most now unmarked or unknown. In addition to the ranch cowboys, the cemetery is the burial site of the Lynches' daughter, two granddaughters, Fannie's father and stepmother, and many infant children who resided in the general vicinity of the cemetery. All of the marked graves in the cemetery are listed below.
