Rankin Cemetery

This  Cemetery  was  established  in 1915,  soon after the founding of

RANKIN, by Civic Leaders,  IRA YATES,  J. H. FELPS,  TOM F. HICKOX and  DR.  J.  H. JOHNSON.  JOHNSON'S Niece,  MARY EVELYN JOHNSON,

  was the  first  to  be buried here in 1916.   Many burials occurred during the 1920's,  when population in the area increased greatly after oil was discovered

 in UPTON and PECOS COUNTIES.

RANKIN  CEMETERY  is  known to contain the unmarked graves of two BANK ROBBERS.
