History:  Per a family letter on file, the History of 
this small cemetery is that the property was owned at one 
time by George Briar.  Apparently per his Obituary, he had
 placed a stake in the location in a 1500 acre pasture on
 his property where he wanted to be buried, about fifteen 
years before he died.

Property owner in 1990 was Weldon Young.  817-648-3401.
