ELLISON CEMETERY – MASON COUNTY, TEXAS
AUGUST 7, 2003
                                                               
                                                               
This tiny cemetery is located in the Northeast part of Mason County
 off of FM 2618 on Brockman Road.  Most of the stones in this cemetery
are deteriorating and are very difficult to read.
 
I am a direct descendant of William B. and Mary Ann Self Ellison.  
William was the son of Keziah "Kizzie" Jones Ellison Burnett and all three are
buried in this cemetery.

Broken Headstone with Initials K. B.  
(I believe this to be the gravesite of Kizzie Burnett born about 1877 in Bexar 
County, Texas.  She was the daughter of William Davis & Keziah

Appears to be a few more unmarked graves, but grass too high and temperature 
unbearable to make an accurate count or description.
