Old Phillips Community Cemetery
African American
Deep in the woods off of Joy Wright Mt. Rd barely in Gregg County on the Gregg/Smith
County line. We are unable to give directions, as we
wandered
around little paths and pig trails, lost, until we accidently found it. There
are no roads, and you would have to know exactly where it
is to have any
chance of ever finding it. We were told this area was once known
as Phillips Quarters. Burials are still being made here.
