Annona
B Cemetery
This cemetery is located in the
southeast quadrant of Red River County, Texas. GPS COORDINATES:
Datum WGS84: 33 Deg 34.562N, 94 Deg 54.956W. From Hwy 82 in Annona
at the intersection with FM 44, proceed south into old downtown
Annona, pass the old railroad right-of-way and bear right continuing
down Booth Blvd. Go about two to three city blocks and again
bear right down a narrow track heading generally south. After
one city block, Annona Cemetery is on the right. Annona B Cemetery
is about another block south and straight ahead. The oldest marked
burial is that of Infant Lawson, Son of W. H. and I. K., who
died on 27 Apr 1884, a white burial. Most of the burials in this
cemetery have a tie to The Rock of Ages Baptist Church in Annona
and it is referred to by some as Rock of Ages Cemetery. In our
research, however, we have found no references to this location
other than the Annona Cemetery. This cemetery was surveyed by
Lawrence and Sue Dale on 21 Jan 1999 and has been visited later
for spot checks. On 10 Jan 2004 we were on the site to take the
GPS Coordinates. We also did a re-walk of the cemetery adding
new burials and noting marker changes.
