Cemetery & Marker Photographs by Danny Gillespie

 

Several graves (?) - perhaps just the headstones - have been moved to other cemeteries. The cemetery has recently been fenced with contributions from the family. Many, many unmarked graves are there.

There are only five legible stones are in the cemetery. There are multiple native stone marked graves.

 

Location:

  • At intersection of FM Rd 744 & FM Rd 55 at Dresden, go north on 55 approx 1/2 mile, turn left at house on gravel road go approx 1 mile to 2nd gate on left.  Out in field to the rights is a stock tank.  The cemetery is beyond the tank across a branch in deep woods filled with underbrush & briars.
