This cemetery is located at 1801 Nancy Lee Street in Bonham that is in the northeast area of town, off of Pecan Street. It is within a private yard and some ungracious person put a welded iron pipe fence around it with no gate. It is in bad shape and tree limbs are down etc.
This Russell family came to Texas in 1839 from Tennessee.
