(cward@stx.rr.com) This cemetery is located between Sandia and Pernitas Point in Jim Wells County, Texas, off State Highway 534, on County Road 303. There are signs on SH-534 directing you to the cemetery. It is on the left hand side before you reach the County Rd 3035 intersection. There are many family plots and it is well maintained. There are many unmarked graves, crosses with no names, and funeral markers that are no longer legible. This transcription was done row by row, as it appears family members may be close by. Please notify me of any corrections or omissions. Thanks. To find a specific surname, use your browser's "find" feature. Juan C.
