Red Cedar Road Cemetery

If you have any information about this cemetery, please contact the county coordinator on the main page
.


Thanks to Ruby for this information!

This is an old African-American cemetery that is located on the 100 acres owned by Aubrey Sanders. This is private property and no access readily available. There is only an old barb wire gate and no place to park a car on the side of the road.  This is located North of Big Sandy and South of Gilmer, Upshur Co., TX.  Go North on Hwy 155 out of Big Sandy, turn West on FM1002 until you get to Red Maple. Follow Red Maple until you come to Red Cedar. Turn right on Red Cedar, go about 1/4 mile and the small barbed wire gate will be on the right. This cemetery is almost destroyed. The land has now been logged out (2004) and I do not know what shape these stones are in. About 1988 we were leasing this land for a deer lease and I went through this cemetery writing down all the graves that I could find. Some of the stones were turned over and buried beneath the sand and pine needles. There were several Funeral Home markers, but I could not read them...................Ruby
