    The cemetery is off Highway 183 on a ranch road that crosses Laurence Wood's property. It is located on a bend of Sarco Creek. A number of the graves are unmarked. The headstone for my great-great grandfather, Jesse Perkins, is actually up against a live oak. Next to him is my great aunt, Keziah Bundick. She married Charles Bundick first, and after he died she married his cousin, Jake. Jake is buried at Sarco Creek. Next to her is Elizabeth Perkins.
