Gregg Co., TX - Cemeteries - Hale Family Cemetery *********************************************** This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Elaine Martin Copyright.

(He has since died) It is actually just over the county line into Rusk County. We went and met the Hales several years ago and they took us out to these graves. (land that used to be in the Hale family, but has been sold to unrelated people that gave only the Hales unlimited access to this since you have to go thru several locked gates to their barns, farm equipment, and then into their cattle pasture. They have fenced it off so that the cattle cannot trample it, but it stays totally engulfed in weeds.) Lewis Hale climbed the fence, trampled down the grass so we could see the headstones, I took a couple of pictures and we put it online. It is on private property, just over the Gregg County line into Rusk County.
