Mrs. Frances Darnell has recently completed compiling former School Superintendent Hupe's papers from the years he was superintendent. The scrapbook, made up of approx. 150 pages plus pictures from that period will be placed in the Montgomery County Library. Mrs. Darnell has also completed this history of the Loutre Lick Cemetery. When the Van Buren Chapter of the DAR, requested information on the location of Isaac VanBibber's grave for a DAR marker. The following is Mrs. Darnell's reply…

After consulting several of the older people in the neighborhood, I find that VanBibber graves do lie in a cemetery, which is located up the hill, northwest of the tavern. Mayor Isaac VanBibber, his Wife, three daughters and a son-in-law are buried in the graveyard together with other representitives of many of the pioneer families. "Out of a number of graves, very few can be seen at present."….

Buried in the cemetery are; Floria Graham, Marian C. Graham. They were the daughters of, Robert and Isabella Gailbreath Graham and sisters of D. F. Graham. D. F. Knew where his sisters were buried. He realized that the location would be lost in time. He asked Mr. Harvey Scanland if he would give him a deed to the area where the graves were so he could fence it…..

The Deed, dated, Aug. 10, 1896…a certain tract of land, 48 feet wide, and 56 feet wide….the said tract having been used for a burying ground years before is now designated to be preserved, cared for, in honor of the dead. About 1901, Ben R. Graham fenced this small tract of land as his Father had requested. The fence posts decayed but the wire remains.. ……

In 1948, James K. VanBibber, wrote Harry Ball, Postmaster at Montgomery City, asking for someone who would copy all inscriptions from every VanBibber stone in the graveyard in Mineola. No stones or graves were found at that time……

In 1975, the Darnell and Harris families erected a permanent marker in the center of the known footage of the cemetery to preserve the location of the two Graham graves. The stone can be seen from the parking lot of the Mineola Baptist Church……

NOTE: The stone used is a stone from the first bridge over Loutre River built in 1886……
