Moorehead-Melton Cemetery is located about 3 miles southeast of Eustace, Texas. It is well maintained and contains approximately 573 plots. There are about 65 sites marked with small PVC crosses and/or iron ore rocks, but with no information. There is a large wooden arbor for services and cemetery contact information is posted on the grounds.

From Eustace, travel SH 175 East towards Athens, about a mile. There is a road sign indicating the cemetery turn. Turn left onto CR 2904 and travel on this road, about a mile and a half to the cemetery.

The history of Moorehead-Melton Cemetery and ownership of the land is being researched at this time. Cemetery enumerated June 2002 and compiled July 2002 by Kay Byers and Debby Fain. Contact: howdymsdeb@msn.com
