Higgins Cemetery

Lowry Crossing, outside Princeton

Collin Co. Cemeteries of TX

Submitted by Elaine Nall Bay and Patricia Nall

December 2008 Higgins Cemetery is located on a corner at the intersection of CR 394 and CR 398. The cemetery is very poorly maintained with evidence of large trees having been cut down and large piles of mulched tree bark throughout the area. There is no evidence any type of fencing; no entrance; no cemetery sign. A few burial locations are marked with large pieces of wood; photos have been taken although the names of the persons buried in these areas are unknown. A schoolhouse once stood on the land in front of the cemetery.
