Ross cemetery is located between Bronte and Blackwell Texas.  It is a small 
cemetery but is still cared for somewhat. This falls with in Runnesls County of 
which Ballinger is the county seat.  It is located close to the Texanna Ranch. 
It was raining the day I stopped to transcribe the tombstones, I have tried to 
be as accurate with the spelling as possible. The following is a list of names 
taken from the tombstones.  There were plainly more graves, but they did not 
have any markers.
