DIRECTIONS

Dr. Lawrence McGuire Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas – From the Court House in Hemphill, Texas take FM 83 East 1 block to State Hwy 87.  Go North or Left on Hwy 87 for 7 miles to Milam.  Continue North on Hwy 87 for 9.7 miles to United States Forest Service Road 131.  Turn Right or East on USFS Road 131 and go 0.9 mile.  Here you will enter the woods on foot going to the Left or North and follow a dim road and then a slough for about 100 yards.  After this 100 yards, the cemetery can be found located just to the left of this slough up a small hill, with the other side bordering Patroon Creek.  There is a barbed wire fence around the cemetery, although a tree had fallen on one side of the fence.  There were blue markers tied to limbs and trees, going back into the woods leading to the cemetery the day we were there.

This cemetery is not mentioned in J. B. Sanders Cemetery Book.

There were seven visible markers and several indentions.  On one marker the faint word “FATHER” was visible near the top of the marker and possibly the letters “H” and “O”.  Another marker had the partial year “186?”, and below that also “186?”.  This was probably a child’s marker.
