Dement Family Cemetery, Richland Community, Rains County, Texas *********************************************************** Submitted by: Dusty Williams Date: Mar 2004 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************************** Located: At the end of Road 4452. Road 4452 comes off of hwy. 514 N. E. of Point. Road 4452 turns into a dirt road, stay straight on it until you come to a gate. Call Sam Coats at 903-473-3225 to get the gate opened. The land for the Cemetery was donated by Ira Bradford Dement around 1878 and in the deed he states "Where apart of my family lies." We had heard stories that sometime after 1930 a bunch of people threw the stones into a well. On March 27, 2004 we had the first Osborn and Dement Family Reunion and went to the Cemetery to see the one remaining stone which is believed to be that of Clinton Dement, Ira's son. We also found a well. Could this be where the stones are? We are hoping to get a group together to clean up the Cemetery and do a search in the well.
