Every effort has been made to copy all tombstone inscriptions; however, many graves are marked only with metal markers (no longer readable), footstones, wooden stobs, rocks, or clumps of iris. All graves have been noted -- both those with or without tombstones. Those without inscriptions are included to assist those searching for gravestones -- which do not exist. They are noted as follows, example: McNEILL, James Hugh, Aug. 18, 1876 - Mar. 3, 1958 (2*) JOHNSON, W. T., 1897-1926 The figure within the parenthesis (2*) indicates that two graves without tombstone inscriptions lie between or near the graves of McNeill and Johnson. Perhaps they belong to members of these families. It was necessary to edit most of the inscriptions, i.e., abbreviate dates, omit verses, etc., but no information was omitted regarding the names on the stones, and relationships were included when it was at all possible. Sometimes a stone read "Father" on the stone itself, sometimes on the footstone. Every effort has been made to preserve such notations. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sneed Cemetery, Milam County, Texas Reached by proceeding on the Jones Prairie-Calvert Road #979, turning northwest at the Cross Roads and proceeding 2.8 miles. The cemetery is located on what is now the homeplace of Harold Marvin Sneed, III (Rt. 2, Cameron, Texas). Mr. Sneed is the great-grandson of Joseph P. Sneed, a famous Methodist preacher of early Texas. Near the cemetery stands a monument which reads "Site of Sneed's Chapel Methodist church, 1880 - 1953." (Copied November 1, 1963.)
