Note - From Mary Love Berryman, Manager of the Coke County TXGenWeb 
Archives:  We have investigated and Ross Cemetery is actually located 
in Coke County, Texas, and Robert Lee is the County Seat.  

Ross cemetery is located between Bronte and Blackwell Texas. It is a 
small cemetery but is still cared for somewhat. This falls with in 
Runnels 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.
