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 someones pasture.
This is a very old cemetery and not very well maintained. I found 2 petrified wood stones as markers, 1 block marker, an Iron Ore Stone with the Intials B.D.B. on it buried between Permintie Elma Holland and William R. Gilpin, a marker broken with the footstone having the intials A.G.
There were what appears to be two infant graves covered in Iron ore rocks and then sea shells. 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.
2 Graves covered in 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. Now I could be wrong on this but they were layed out like a grave and most went in a row with the readable headstones.
Mary "Mollie" Black was born in 1858, in Freestone County, Texas, near Lanely and Burleson Hill. She was the daughter of William Anderson "Dick" Black (1834 - 1909) and Margaret Green (1838 - 1913). She married George Washington Berry on September 9, 1875. Mollie died before 1897, when George married Katy Peavy and is buried in an unmarked grave at Harrison Chapel Cemetery, Freestone County, Texas.
