HACKBERRY CEMETERY, Grayson County, Texas

Hackberry Cemetery is located on private property.  Take the Farmington Road Exit 
off of US 75 near Van Alstyne.  On the west Frontage Road (going south), you will
come to ³Hackberry Road² on the right.   Turn right and continue about 1/2 mile.
The property is on the left side of the road.   There is a gap-gate in the fence where
you enter the property & walk about 1/4 mile into the field, turn left and go about
400 feet, climb a barbed wire fence and you can see the chain-link fence surrounding
the cemetery.  A gate in the fence allows access.
