The cemetery is surrounded, on three sides by land owned by Henry Robertson. The land was originally granted to W. G. W. Powell by the State of Texas. It is believed that the Amulet school was on this same land. This cemetery was read and recorded in 1991 by James P Barret, his wife Janelle and his cousin Jodelle Owens. This record was made by recording the graves moving from the east edge to the west. ALLEN, W. Henry 1883-1964 ALLEN, Elmer C. Oct. 12, 1912 Feb. 1, 1927 S/o Mr. & Mrs. W. H.
