Texas. GPS COORDINATES: Datum WGS84: 33 Deg 28.504N, 95 Deg 12.414W.
The first marked burial in this cemetery occurred with the death

memorial markers in the cemetery; those for Clemens Humphries
who died on 26 Aug 1836 in Coffeyville MS and for Cinthia Humphries
who died in Jun 1835, also in Coffeyville MS. On 4 Sep 1878 William
Humphreys and L. A. Wilson gave deeds for a total of 4.53 acres
of land from their respective headrights and later acquisitions
have increased this cemetery to its present size, one source
saying 13.22 acres of land. Beginning in October 1999 this cemetery
was surveyed by Lawrence and Sue Dale and in the process was
subdivided into 9 sections, each individual buried there is now
marked with a location in the cemetery. We also prepared a plat
map and plans are to have an enclosed case under the pavillion
to house a copy of this survey and the map. Finally on 17 Nov
1999 we completed the walking portion of the cemetery and began
the keypunch portion of the work. Population for this cemetery
as reported on 19 May 2001 is 3,267 individuals with 221 burials
unmarked but documented. There was a revisit on 20 Jan 2003 to
take the GPS Coordinates. We also did a re-walk of the cemetery
adding new burials and noting marker changes in Sec 6 and Sec
9 on 23 Nov 2003. The final rewalk of the cemetery was accomplished
in two long days, 11 and 12 Dec 2004."
