History Historical Marker

 

This cemetery is very well kept and filled with trees to provide shade over the entire area.  There are many bois ‘arc posts and a few old funeral home markers which mark unknown graves.  Most of the tombstones are old and hard to read without using chalk to make the writing show up; most date in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. From the intersection of TX121 and SH160, turn south onto SH160.  Travel 4.5 miles and merge right onto Hwy 78S.  Immediately turn right (north) and immediately turn west.  Travel 0.3 miles.  Turn right (east) onto CR576.  Travel 0.7 mile to the destination.
