There is no recent survey for Howard Cemetery. Pattie Tucker and Michele Kneupper completed this on 12 Nov 1978 and they said:
"This cemetery is very difficult to reach, with no road leading to it. It is on the ranch of { L.E. Jones is current owner? } near the Red River in the extreme northeast part of Cooke County. It is north and west of the foreman's house on the ranch, located on a hilltop. It is almost totally covered with cane and underbrush."
A new survey is planned for the winter 2003/04 when conditions will allow us to search for lost stones.
