Spencer Cemetery, 1 Jan
1880,"This cemetery is located in the northwest quadrant
of Red River County, Texas. GPS COORDINATES: Datum WGS84: 33
Deg 48.446N, 95 Deg 10.894W. This is one of many small family
cemeteries in RRCo TX. It is not on a road and can be reached
only by a good pasture walk. From the Manchester community go
south on the Bagwell road aproximately 2 miles to the first road
turning to the right. Take this a short 1/2 mile to the first
intersecting fencerow on the south or left. You must now walk
down this fencerow a short 1/4 mile. The cemetery is on the right
just as you approach an intersecting cross fence. In an effort
to get more accurate locations for these burial grounds, we invested
in a GPS device and on 10 Jan 2003 again revisited the site to
get the coordinates. There has been much work there in the last
few years and as of this visit we were able to count 31 gravesites
within the enclosure. Most are now marked with a cross made of
what appears to be stainless steel pipe.""
