Union Cemetery

 

This is a White Cemetery

Take the west I 45 frontage road at highway 79 in Buffalo and go south 4.5 miles to CR 327.  Go west on CR 327, 2.8 miles.  A wood sign next to a metal gate on the left side of the road shows the entrance to a pasture.  The gate is locked and you need to get a key from the Las Lomas Ranch who is the owner of the land to get in.  Their telephone number in 1999 is 903-626-4611 or 903-626-4612.

Surveyed by Mr. W. J. Durant of Jewett, 1981

Mr. Durant states in a letter to Mrs. Maggie McDaniel that it appears there is a union soldier buried here but he is no yet certain.
Surveyed by Herbert H. McCarter, Nov 11, 1999.
This cemetery is completely enclosed within a chain link fence.  There is a nice metal sign at the entrance with UNION CEMETERY across the top of it.  There is a covered meeting area and some nice picnic tables out under the trees.  It looks like the area fenced is about 1 acre square. This cemetery has a lot of concrete brick markers with numbers on them.  Some of these numbered markers have other concrete brick markers with information leaning on them.  This is the #’s that appear in parenthesis after some of the entries.  I don’t know who put the concrete bricks or the plan that was used in placing them.
Updated as needed through the use of the Obits.
