Jack Co., TX - Cemeteries - Lynn Creek Cemetery ************************************************* File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Carla Moore http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/tx/txfiles.htm ************************************************* LYNN CREEK CEMETEY Old Section Burial Order This is a wide page. Located approximately 12 miles north of Jacksboro, TX on Hwy 281. On the right you Wil see a green state highway sign, Lynn Creek Cemetery. Turn right onto county road. Go approximately 1 mile. On left is cemetery sign. Follow lane in to cemetery. Rows run from the north end as that is where the cemetery started. It is never locked and anyone is welcome. This the oldest section of Lynn Creek Cemetery where most of our unknown graves are and the older people. This is a very historical part of the cemetery, my favorite. I can help anyone find their graves among all the white crosses in this section.
