The cemetery is on Speights Road.  From FM 2517 take CR 467 to the State Line where it changes to Speights Road. Continue across State Line Road for some distance and the cemetery is on the left.  Speights Road is an old, narrow oil/gravel road so use caution.  The cemetery can also be approached from the LA side, using 765.

This cemetery has been updated, using the Hawthorn Funeral Home Records plus walking records. FH Records are identified:  by a page number in comments, Use this, plus the death year to locate in the Funeral Home Records. You may find duplicate entries, I left them as such so you can go to the Hawthorn Funeral Home Records for more information. (2009 gbm)
