LOCKRIDGE CEMETERY
Rusk Co. Cemeteries of TX

The information listed here was graciously provided by:
Jann Orr granddaughter of Birdie Mae Lockridge (who is not buried here) the daughter of Thomas Lockridge and Amanda Pevey Lockridge, and sister to Calvin (who is buried here).

Her statement about the cemetery: "I remembered that my grandmother took me to a small family cemetery outside of Henderson several years ago, and I wrote down all of the names on the headstones and made notes on who they were (only about a dozen). The name is the Lockridge Cemetery and it is off 69 "waaay" back in the woods, don't know for sure if I can find it again -

...I would like to add a the genealogical data later (I know who they are just don't have all the info I want. There were two families buried there that she didn't know anything about, so I'd like to find a little about them.

Additional Information:     Several of the unmarked graves belong to the Ward Family. Carrie Cox (Great-great granddaughter of Joseph and Angeline Ward.)

Corrections on location:The Cemetery is located Hwy. 79 and then off Road 839, This is the Highway that runs from Henderson to Jacksonville.
