Liberty B Cemetery, 17
Mar 1879, "This cemetery is located in the southwest quadrant
of Red River County, Texas. GPS COORDINATES: Datum WGS84: 33
Deg 36.145N, 95 Deg 13.765W. This is a black cemetery and is
lost in the woods immediately north of the Liberty Cemetery.
The oldest marked burial is that of Millie Guest who died on
17 Mar 1879. There is a west fence that follows the front line
for the Liberty Cemetery and a fence on the east about in line
with the Baker burials in Liberty Cemetery. There is also a fence
on the north and land included is about a half acre. This is
supposedly an old slave cemetery and descendants of the Guest
slaves are buried there. The Liberty Cemetery Association is
aware of these burials and is working to clean it and to put
a new fence around it in the future. This was surveyed by Lawrence
and Sue Dale on 3 August 2001 on a HOT morning. We again visited
here on 15 Jan 2004 to take the GPS Coordinates and to photograph
the area."
