Gloria B. Mayfield, LadyTexian@tcainternet.com  TX Tombstone Project Manager ************************************************************************ Old Downsville Cemetery , just outside of Waco off of Loop 340 McLennan County Submitted by Carol Couch ccouch@ancestry.com The cemetery is on private property, off of FM 434 in the 400 block of Flying Heart Rd. There is an old abandoned road leading back into the site, but it is not advisable to anyone who doesn't know the road to try to get into the site. A new landowner has recently bought the property and has no interest in maintaining this cemetery. For this reason, we do not know if even these gravesites are still available. These names were copied by a neighbor about a year ago, there were more graves but these were the only stones easily read without a complete cleanup of the site. She claims that many of the graves have sunken or been destroyed to the point that there are some bones and artifacts laying around. She thinks that the Black Churches in the area may have more information. Old Downsville Cemetery Charlotte Stringfello 1937 - ? Capt. A.J.
