OAK HILL CEMETERY


Transcribed by Barbara Jarvis
© 2003


This is an abandoned and neglected cemetery located in the southeast corner of Cooke County. There are many small stones, some with initials, which will be placed in the order found. This was a difficult site to survey because of lost graves. I have tried to indicate that there are XX feet between marked graves. Surveyed from left to right beginning at the gate. From FM 372, turn west on Oak Hill Rd. It is six tenths of a mile on the north side of the road. Last surveyed 14 Feb 2003.
