This is a White Cemetery
From Highway 39 in Flynn go west on FM 977 a distance of 3.5 miles to a locked gate on the left side of the road. Follow this roadway 1.40 miles to the cemetery. (It is on a ranch recently purchased by Mr. Dick Rothwell. It is close to Pidgeon Roast Creek. There are about 16 graves with stones. However, the wording is weathered away until only 5 markers are identifiable. This location and the following names and dates were received by the Committee from Joyce Petty. It is handwritten but gives no name nor date of who researched the cemetery nor when.)
