Spring Ridge Cemetery

Nacogdoches County, Cemeteries of TX

Submitted by by Bob Britnell and Sandra Britnell

SPRING RIDGE CEMETERY, San Augustine County, Texas, was surveyed and photographed 27 November, 2009, by Bob Britnell and Sandra Britnell, his sister. This small cemetery serves a sparsely populated San Augustine County  farming area near the western edge of the county. Shortly after we arrived, Mr. Jerry Fountain, who owns a large poultry farming operation just down the road, stopped by and introduced himself, and was kind enough to permit us to continue. 

DIRECTIONS: From San Augustine, go west on SR21 7.1 miles, to FM354 and turn right. Go north on 354 4.6 miles; at the sharp right bend in the road, continue on the pavement to the right. (the gravel road straight ahead goes on  into Nacogdoches County) The cemetery is a little less than 3 miles further up the road, after the pavement ends. As with all the cemeteries we have transcribed, we will provide pictures to anyone who asks; email Bob at <misterbob@suddenlink.net>
The notation (fhm) indicates a small metal funeral home marker.
