21 Feb 1958,"This cemetery is located in the northeast quadrant
of Red River County, Texas. GPS COORDINATES: Datum WGS84: 33
Deg 44.585N, 94 Deg 53.885W. From the intersection of FM 1159
and CR 3240 take CR 3240 east for 1.6 miles to CR 3230. Turn
right onto CR 3230 and go 2/10 mile south, turning left or east
onto a private road for another 100 yards. The area is well fenced
and very clean. There appears to be only the three burials. The
oldest burial is that of Louis Fitzhugh Bonham, acting postmaster
of Bryarly from 21 Nov 1940 and postmaster beginning 10 Jan 1941.
This post office was closed on 28 Feb 1954. This cemetery was
surveyed by Lawrence and Sue Dale on 30 Nov 1999. We visited
the site again on 8 Dec 2003 and took the GPS readings. Due to
the winter ice storm of Dec 2000 and subsequent logging operations,
this cemetery is in terrible condition and will soon be lost."
