Surveyed by Mrs. Mike Lomas and Mrs. T. N. Wylie, February 3, 1974.  
Located 4 miles east of Robert Lee on State Highway 158, turning 
right 8 miles on an unpaved lane and on the Daisy McCutchen ranch.

The surveyor has entitled this un-named cemetery, the Immigrant 
Cemetery because of the folk-lore surrounding its establishment.
Prior to the turn of the century immigrants passing through developed 
typhoid fever and while encamped because of the illness, four died 
and were buried on this cedar hill.  These graves are covered with 
sandstone blocks apparently cut by the immigrants.  There are two 
other graves in the cemetery unmarked except for sandstone 
headstones.  The only marked graves are those of children, possibly 
of early settlers
