BOREN-CROCKER CEMETERY

Surveyed May 25, 2008,

BOREN-CROCKER Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas. This small (26 identifiable, 2 unidentifiable burials) cemetery is located deep in the woods on a really bad county road. If you plan to visit, go in dry weather in a vehicle with high road clearance and watch the mudholes.

DIRECTIONS: From San Augustine, go south 10 miles on US96 to SR103 and turn right. (West) Go about 2 miles and turn left (south) on FM1751. Go about 1.5 miles; look for the sign indicating the turnoff to Boren-Crocker Cemetery, and turn right on CR4210. The road starts out as a narrow, hard-surfaced road but deteriorates shortly to a badly rutted, sometimes very muddy dirt track. The cemetery is six miles down this road. (when the road forks, bear right and follow the "better" road.) Watch carefully to the left for the chain-link fence; the cemetery is hard to see and easy to pass by. This listing is in order of burial starting in the corner to the left of the gate and going up and down the 3 rows. (I have digital photos of all the headstones; I will gladly mail or e-mail any or all)

The next 2 (and possibly the 3rd also) do not appear to mark an actual grave, but may be memorials to
persons perhaps buried elsewhere -- or buried here in a "lost" grave.
