Jan 1865","Dillard","This cemetery is located
in the southeast quadrant of Red River County, Texas. GPS COORDINATES:
Datum WGS84: 33 Deg 27.309N, 94 Deg 48.015W, El 368 ft. This
cemetery is located south of Avery between FM44 and FM911 off
CR 4430 6/10 mile south on the east bank of Dillard Creek. It
is located back in the woods with no road leading to it. There
is no perimeter fence but there are remains of an ornate turn-of-the-century
fence around the Dillard family plot. Some of the markers have
fallen over and broken. We had to dig up the marker for Polly
A. Peacock. The oldest marked burial is that of Wm. N. Dillard
who died 18 Jan 1865. This cemetery was surveyed by Lawrence
and Sue Dale on 19 Jan 2000. We were accompanied by Nita Key,
owner of the land, and we thank her for her kindness in guiding
us there. We visited the site again on 18 Dec 2003 and took the
GPS readings."
