Directions from Cleburne: Take 174 South to Rio Vista. On the Cleburne-Whitney Rd. turn East onto Central Avenue go past Rio Vista Cemetery. Go South on County Rd. 1204 which runs into CR-1100A. CR1100A intersects CR1204 (still in Johnson County). CR1204 becomes HCR1418 after crossing the Hill County line. Ross Cemetery is located on the right side of the road almost covered by large trees and brush. There is a home made metal sign by the 2nd entrance which reads ÒRoss Cemetery.Ó (Warning: hungry chiggers are present in abundance!)
