Location: From New Boston, go south on Hwy 8 to Old Boston. Turn left on FM 2149. Go about 2 miles. Turn right on CR 1102. Go 2 1/10 miles. Cemetery is on the right in front of the old wooden church.
While visiting this cemetery, we had a chance to talk to a couple of women from this community. One was the secretary to the cemetery, the other was her sister. The ladies were very kind and offered a little information that may be of some importance to a geneologist and family members. The brick church that is at this location used to be a school house. The actual church is a wooden building, which is still standing and no longer used. Some of the graves that are located in the back of this cemetery were moved here from other communities, such as: Maud and Corley. Some of the graves that were moved have not been marked as of yet. There are about 314 noticeable graves of which 240 were readable stones. This cemetery has been very well kept and closely guarded by it's community.
