It has no name of the cemetery anywhere, no fence, etc. It is located behind the residence at 3625 Touchstone, Wylie TX. It is quite small.   there are no photos. In fact, most of the stones were knocked over.  (CB)............................................

We were told by some neighbors that no one had been taking care of the cemetery in a long long time. Apparently the land was bought by a private owner and he had even allowed cattle to graze in the cemetery, which probably accounts for all of the broken stones. The weeds were grown up awful bad and ants just about carried us away. We weren't able to find all of the stones, even though someone has piled a number of them up next to a tree. I had heard that the county or city took care of it, mowing and such, for a time, but no longer did. It is a shame to see this take place. I live 100 miles away, or I would do it myself. There is a large drainage ditch close to the cemetery, and with vandalism the way it is, and this ditch being filed with large white rocks, it makes you wonder if some of the stones haven't ended up there. It would take some careful looks to find them, since they would most likely look just like all of the rocks.  Athena (Evans) Butterfield

These are my great great grandparents. Their stones no longer exist as far as I can tell, however, my great aunt has told me that she was last there in the early 1960's and the very simple stones, having just the years, did exist at that time. She hasn't been back since, so does not know what may have happened to them. I have verified their deaths through the state of Texas, they both show having died in Collin County. Their birth years are approximations according to census records. Since it is not proven that they are buried here, I am not sure if you would be able to include them, but I hope that you might.
