Jo Cabrera: >[email protected] The town of Hope still exists in Stephens county. It is 7 miles northeast of Duncan. So Cruce should be in the vicinity. There are 2 cemeteries nearby. The closest to Hope is Cooper cemetery. It's between Lake Humphreys on the west and Clear Creek Lake on the east. The other is Short Cemetery which is on the northwest shore of Lake Humphreys. The next closest is Owen Prarie Cemetery which is 7 miles east of Clear Creek Lake. Gene Phillips
