Green Elm Cemetery

turn left at the “Y” at the Dynergy station right turn will take you to the old Green Elm Bridge we visited in January 2001 the dirt road was very muddy

    

 
In 2001 and 2004 the grounds of the cemetery were cleared of brush and the headstones were easy to see.   In August 2004 a new gate had been placed at the entrance to the cemetery

Location – Green Elm Cemetery is located on the east edge of Jack County. It is close to Green Elm Bridge (where the West Fork of the Trinity River comes into the northwest end of Lake Bridgeport). From Wise County take Fm Rd 1810 (the road to Jacksboro) out of Chico toward the west for about 8 miles. Turn left on County Line Road (there’s a cemetery sign). Go 3.6 miles and turn right on Long Road. Go 0.3 miles and turn at the first right. In 0.5 miles you will come to the Dynegy station on the left. Take the left fork of a “Y” and the cemetery is straight ahead 0.3 miles.

Layout – We took pictures and numbered the 23 headstones as we came to them going south up the hill into the cemetery. No rows were laid out. The Burrow, Moser & Long stones were in the small fenced area .
