Keltys Cemetery

Angelina Co. Cemeteries of  TX

Submitted by Debra Coursey-Pitts and son D J


KELTY'S CEMETERY : Lufkin,Texas Angelina County surveyed by Debra Coursey-Pitts. Estb.1875

Location: Off N Raguet to Commerce on site of former property of Owens-Illinois Mill. (must have guard to unlock gate )

This is a VERY old cemetery , in much need of repair. There are numerous piles of broken and misplaced grave markers lying about. Many are now overgrown by the underbrush on the outer  edges of the cemetery.  This cemetery is BOTH a cemetery for Whites & Blacks .. predominately Black.

***Please note***
Information on these gravesites is typed in order as I surveyed them, from back to front, many family  members are not buried together but
seem to be placed in a rather "hap-hazzard" fashion.  Many are no longer readable, many are faded and discolored.
