This cemetery is well maintained. It contains alot of older stones. Below I have added which ones are unable to read and which ones are broke.

Directions: From the interchange of Hwy 380 and US 78, go North on US 78 approximately 4.5 miles, turn Left onto FM 2756 and follow approximately 5.5 miles, turn Right onto FM 1377 and follow approximately 4 miles, turn Right onto RD 571 and follow approximately 1 mile, turn Right onto RD 1042 and follow until the end of the road. The road dead ends at the cemetery.

VERONA, TEXAS. Verona is near Pilot Grove Creek eight miles northeast of McKinney in northeast Collin County. Settlement of the area began in the 1870s. The organization of the community began in the fall of 1872 when A. R. Womble built a general store to serve area farmers. Soon thereafter a gristmill, cotton gin, and school were established. A post office opened on September 27, 1876. In November 1901 mail service was discontinued and routed through Farmersville. Verona's population was estimated at seventy-five in 1890 and twenty-five in 1933.

Notes: The deceased are listed in alphabetical order by last name.
