Harrison Chapel Cemetery

Freestone County, Cemeteries of Texas

Submitted by Cathy Canterbury

Cemeteries of Texas Coordinator: Dolores I. Bishop

 Directions: Take CR 489 east from Hwy 75 from Dew and go about 4 miles. Turn right on CR 411. Follow the dirt road on back. You will go over about three cattle guards and will be in someone’s pasture. This is a very old cemetery and not very well maintained. 

 Two petrified wood stones, one block marker, an iron ore stone with initials B.D.B. were found between Permintie Elma Holland and William R. Gilpin, a marker broken with the footstone having the initials A.G. There are what appear to be two infant graves covered in iron ore rocks and then seashells, an iron ore marker with the footstone having the initials E.T.R. A grave covered in iron ore rock with iron ore headstone with initials C.F.U. There are two graves with iron ore rock with no markings. There appears to be 102 unmarked graves in this cemetery. There were iron ore rocks for the headstone and a smaller one for the footstone. This could be incorrect but they were laid out like a grave and most went in a row with the readable headstones.
