Lunenburg Saloon & Cemetery
The log building is rumored to be the first saloon to open in Izard County. The cemetery hosts the remains of several early settlers of Izard County including John Byler . Also buried here is Jesse Hinkle...Izard County's coroner from 1862-1864...who was involved in the infamous Mill Creek Organization Peace Society incident during the civil-war era.

LOTS OF FAMILY IN LUNENBURG CEMETERY
SMALL HEADSTONES&GRAVES ARE COOPER'S-MY DAD'S YOUNGER BROTHERS&SISTERS WHO DIED AT AN EARLY AGE-MY BROTHER WHO IS BURIED THERE NOW PUT THE NAMES ON THE STONES
I WAS SPEAKING OF THE SMALL STONES DOWN BY THE GATE ENTRANCE
I was surprised to see so many Coopers buried there, Paula. And the number of children buried there is intriguing.
MY DAD IS THERE-MY BROTHER-MY NIECE-AN UNCLE-GRANDPARENTS-THEY ARE MORE UP ON THE HILL&ALL THOSE AT THE BOTTOM BY THE GATE ARE LIKE I SAID MY DAD'S BROTHERS&SISTERS THAT WERE SO YOUNG.
Quite a few of my folks are buried there. I'm sad to see my gr gr grandmother Temperance's stone has fallen from the stand.
