Submitted by Virginia Doudney Chastain tx7usa@totalzone.com I notice that you do not list the Copita Tract Cemetery in Jim Wells County. It is located west of Premont and my great grandparents are buried there. We visited there in 1993 and would never have found the cemetery had it not been for a kindly realtor in Premont. Although I did not record all the names, my ancestors are Carlisle Richard 1860 - 1934 Carlisle Anna Belle (Lukemyre) her birth date is listed (1859) but the death date (1944) is not. Their Maston Edith Carlisle daughter of Richard & Anna Belle as is Anna Belle's Smith Mary Lukemyre sister to Anna Belle Other names in the cemetery are Lytle which I know to be the family that one of the Carlisle daughters married into. This cemetery is very remote and very grown up, but there are a number of graves there, and probably should be listed on your registry. Below is a listing of the persons buried in Copita as outlined by my cousin, Floyd Lytle. The names were handwritten in pencil on the back and really not very good for copying. Lloyd McGahey - 9-yr-old son of Mr. & Mrs. M. S. McGahey (oldest son) Francis Monroe Lytle - Sept. 20, 1861-1945 Eliza Hannah Lytle - May 12, 1864 - 1915 Above parents of Leland C.

Lopez Jesus Martinez Mr. & Mrs. Sanchez Notice that there is a 20' driveway through the center and 6' walkways between the rows of graves. Of course, we could see no such divisions when we were there. *Leland Lytle is the father of my cousin, Floyd, who has sent this information to me. **Unsure of the spelling of this name. ***Hazel Carlisle is the mother of my cousin Floyd ****Edith allegedly died of diphtheria.
