Palo Pinto Co., TX - Cemeteries - Mingus Cemetery *********************************************** This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Alton & Debra Bostick Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************** Mingus Cemetery, Palo Pinto County, Texas This cemetery is located on private property in Mingus, Texas. It occupies an area of about two acres and there is evidence of many unmarked graves. There may be two or three times as many graves as there are markers. I have been unable to find records of this cemetery, so my wife and I decided to do a survey in hopes of locating a certain ancestor. The following is absolutely all of the information I have. I am unable to do lookups as I do not live near that part of Texas. This information is provided in a link at the end of this page in the form of a comma delimited text file.
