Lake Cemetery

Surveyed by Marylee W. Knight 09-25-98

Directions: From Carthage go westbound on State Hwy 315 for 8.3 miles to the
intersection with FM 1971.  Turn left onto FM 1971, go southbound for 4.6 
miles (just south of Dotson's Crossing) to County Road 1741.  Turn left on CR 
1741 and go 0.2 miles to where the oil surface ends.  There will be a sign 
for Private Road 5741 on the right, the driveway to the cemetery turns to the
right just past that sign.

This cemetery is very well kept.  It has a cyclone fence around it and is 
nestled in thick trees.  Approximately 8-10 unmarked graves were noted. On 
one grave, the headstone is missing, but the footstone with the initials 
"W.L." is propped in the base where the headstone once was.  There are two
headstones in different places for the William Lake 1827-1879, with exactly
the same dates.  There are obvious grave indentions in both spots. No known
explanation at this time for this duplication.
