Watt Hill Cemetery"B", Rusk Co. TX

On State Hiway 149 turn left on 782 then right on 2177 in the Cherokee Lake Area. This cemetery is on private and posted land. Thanks to Perry Thompson, Jr for letting us take pictures and Mr. Algie Harkless for providing information and a special thanks to two Steves, one that told me about it and one that helped me climb fences. (with permission).

This is an all Black Cemetery, some say that dates to the 1860's. The last known burial was in 1934. Probably has about 50 - 70 graves. broken markers and rusty Funeral Home Markers.

There were rocks, iris, magnolia trees, cactus and a brick that marked the many graves. If you can add any information, please email me. gloria
