McBride Cemetery
The graves in the McBride cemetery were moved when
the dam at Lake Tawakoni was build on FM 47 in Rains Co.; otherwise, the cemetery would
have been under water. The graves in this family cemetery were removed to the Bright
Star Cemetery which is located 2.6 miles past the Rains/Van Zandt Co. line on FM 47
inside Van Zandt County. A marker with the following inscription is located in the
northeast corner of the Bright Star Cemetery. There are other graves in the Bright
Star Cemetery with individual markers which have the "McBride" name engraved on
them.
Four known and eight-two unknown persons formerly
buried in the McBride family cemetery."
