Collin Co., TX: Clear Lake Cemetery This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Shane Brannum Upload date: 2/18/2005 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm **************************************************** Collin County Clear Lake Cemetery Transcribed by Shane Brannum on 26 Feb 2004. The location of this cemetery is in Clear Lake Park. Leaving McKinney at the intersection of US 380 & State Highway 5, go East on US 380. Go about 7 miles to Princeton. In Princeton, at the first light, you will come to FM 982. Turn right, and go South on FM 982. Go about 8 miles. The road will turn to the East, near the end. You will pass a Baptist Encampment on your right. Go to the stop sign. The road crossing should be CR 736. Anyway, turn right at the stop sign. the road will turn left and you will be going East again. You will drive into Clear Lake Park. I think its open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daliy. During the winter, from Oct 1 to Feb 28, the road going to the cemetery is closed, by a gate. When you enter Clear Lake, there is a guard house, take the first road going to the right. Take that road 1/4 of a mile. The cemetery should be infront of you. ________________________________________________________ The people listed in this transcription are numbered for a map I have made at the bottom of this page. 1.
