West Camp Cemetery

Bailey County, Cemeteries of Texas




Photos by Sheriff Jerry Hicks. Cemetery and turn row road leading to it.  

Location: Travel 3 miles west on US Hwy 70/84 from the west Muleshoe city limit sign, then turn west on an unmarked paved road and travel 9 mile west until the paved road turns north. After turning north, there is a dirt turn row located about 1 mile further, turn west on the turn row, and proceed for about 1 mile into the field.

Note: Marker numbers assigned in alphabetical order and have no other value other than to designate entry as a single marker. If two entries have the same marker number, that means both names were listed on the same marker. If you have loved ones interned here and they do not have markers, or an obvious mistake has been made, please contact me by email : Gloria
