I couldn't find the cemetery that Lewis Bohannan is buried in - of
course he could be one of the
20 unmarked unknown graves in the Howard-Stine since it is definitely the
right neighbor hood.

Howard - Seitz - Stines Cemetery it is located north of HWY 68 (hwy 412
now) about 50 yards at a point about 100 yards west of Stines house

Howards - Deans - and 1 Littrell are buried there
there is a stone that has the initials S.H. on it
and there are 20 unmarked graves
we think it is out in the Logan's pasture.
