       The Gipson Cemetery is one mile southeast of Silver Valley in a pasture.  It is somewhat overgrown with little or no fence.  There could be other graves, which are unmarked.

       Survey maps show the cemetery to be on what was originally James Gipson land.  The young Gipson children were probably his.  Franklin and Martha Gipson came to Silver Valley in 1888, but the relationship between James and Franklin Gipson is not known to the authors.  This cemetery is now located on the Hal and David Hughes ranch, but in the past was in the southwest corner of the Mose Thompson place and the southeast corner of the Lollar place.
