    3. Hi all.. I just added another teeny cemetery to the Archives. I had personal reasons for wanting to find it, and as a result got a little bit of history regarding it. While it's known today as the Stinnett Cemetery #2, it was once known as the Lost Run Cemetery. From what I understand, the cemetery served the Lost Run community, but somewhere over time it has gotten the name of the Stinnett Cemetery #2. Peggy Russell mailed the pictures she took in May, 1990 of the cemetery, and while it is small, it is back on farmland and in the middle of a cow pasture (or was, as of the taking of the picture). She sent me an article regarding the cemetery that was in the Breck. Co. Herald-News, which I will be typing up and placing on the Archives site as well. It gives a little more description than what my memory is allowing right now. While Peggy says there were sandstones in there, she couldn't recall how many there were and said she believes she photographed all the markers. She said that she has running in the back of her mind that she might have missed one or two (and she said she's thinking if that's the case, they were Carman markers), but she's not sure. Most of the markers are Stinnett family members, but there are two Carman daughters/sisters, and one Awbrey. Many, many thanks to Peggy for her lending the still shots to be scanned and placed on the Archives! And by the way, I listed the cemetery on the cemetery page as follows: "Lost Run/Stinnett Cemetery #2"... with a listing under Stinnett Cemetery #2 to look up the page. Happy Hunting!
