MACKLEROY CEMETERY

This cemetery, now deserted with about 15 or 20 graves, is located on FM-1272 about nine miles east-southeast of Antrim Cemetery (west of Grapeland about seven miles on FM-1272). It was once the Mackleroy estate and takes its name from the nearby Mackleroy Spring Branch. A wooden fence encloses the graves.

Among those buried here is Sallie J. Davis, the sister of John A. Davis, longtime Justice of Peace, Grapeland.

Mrs. I. J. Nichols first read the graves in October 1976; Edna M. Sims made additions in 1977; group of Commission members verified for the third book.
