Directions to Cemetery

From Athens, Texas take Highway 31 East to Brownsboro, Texas. Go through the town of Brownsboro heading east towards Tyler. Just outside of town you will turn right on on FM 3204. Follow FM 3204 until you reach CR 3405. Turn right and go 5/10 of a miles. Rock Hill Cemetery is just beyond Terrell Cemetery and right across the street from the Rock Hill Baptist Church on the right hand side of road.
