Pinkston Cemetery
Original Survey by Don AustinLocation: About one mile south of the Galloway Community and just north of the Sabine River. This would be just off Panola County Road 455 about the place where CR 4553 forks off to the west.
The following description of this cemetery was given by Don Austin in his privately circulated book "42 Lost Cemeteries".
"Located on a small mound on gently sloping ground in woodlands of average thickness. All that's left to mark the spot are two or three large cedar trees which are possibly grave markers.
This is just east of the old Connell's Ferry Road which connected Galloway Community of the town of Joaquin (in Shelby County) and crossed the Sabine River at Connell's Ferry. There is no longer a crossing here and it is now referred to as Yellow dog."
The story is also told of a newcomer who was found dead at the river and was buried in this cemetery facing south the direction in which he was traveling.
