go 1.1 miles and make a right on to Co Road 2547. Go 1.7 miles to Co Road 121
and make a right. Go 6 tenths of a mile and at the T make a left (This is still
Co. Road 121) and go 2 tenths of a mile and the cemetery is on the left inside

[Eric Wood: I have crosschecked this list against the "Freestone County
Cemeteries, Vol I" published 1976 which I abbreviated as FCC.  I included any
missing because markers can become unreadable, fall down, or be vandalized. Any
added have FCC marked on the line.]
