Cotton, Grimes County, Texas

Original Transcription

"When I first copied the names in this cemetery, back in the early 1970, we had to walk to the cemetery from the wire gap and iron gate. Ora Bullard Corner went with Retta Linzy Smigala and me to show us the way. Ora told us of various family members that are buried there and some do not have head stones. There are signs of unmarked graves. Also, in compiling data on the Boney-Stutts Families, I found others that are buried there. Note that I have used full names if possible. (MBW)"

An ongoing restoration of the Carter Cemetery is being conducted by the members of the Boney-Stutts Reunion, Carter Cemetery Association. Download the Carter Cemetery interactive Adobe PDF document with HTML links and Map.
