Corinth Cemetery

Longbranch, Texas
Surveyed by Marylee W. Knight, 10-14-98
Additional information provided by Barbara Bonner

Directions: From Carthage go west bound on State Highway 315 for 14.6 miles. Turn right on to Panola County Road 1552 (this will be the last county road intersecting SH 315 before it crosses into Rusk County). Continue northbound on CR 1552 for 0.8 miles. A white frame church identified as Corinth Baptist Church will be on the left side of the road. The cemetery is visible on the hillside behind the church.

This cemetery is nestled in to thick forest on three sides. The older marked graves appear near the center of the cemetery  with the newer graves being clustered in the extreme corners of the cemetery area and on the front slope of the hill nearest to the church. This would lead to the assumption that the center of the cemetery has a number of old unmarked graves. A total of 44 unmarked graves were noted during this survey  but the rough contours of the cemetery grounds could easily disguise a large number of others.

Common Abbreviations: P: parents, M: married, Fa: father, Mo: mother, no b/r: no birth/recorded, no d/r: no death recorded.
