SHADY CEMETERY

Old abandoned cemetery, very overgrown with mesquite trees and weeds. There is 
evidence that there was a fence around the whole thing. Now three plots 
containing six of the nine discernable graves are fenced. From Seymour take 
Highway 277 to county road 436. It leaves the highway at an angle going almost 
due west at a large red brick house that is also abandoned. Follow this about 1 
3/4 miles. The cemetery is on the back side of a tank dam in a clump of mesquite 
trees about 100 yards from the road. There is some evidence that there may have 
been other graves there also. Those marked in any way have been recorded.
