Brookshire Cemetery 

Published by San Angelo Genealogical Society

Reproduced with SAGHS’ permission

This Cemetery was surveyed by two of our members at two different times -- in 
February and March 1974. 
What is being printed is the combined effort of both members. The name of the 
cemetery seems to have two possible spellings -- the one in the title and 
BROOKSHIER. It is located one mile south of the intersection of Texas Farm Road 
#2333 and #3115 on Farm Road #2333. The first survey was made Feb. 24, 1974 by 
Mrs. Mike Lomas and her mother Mrs. T. M. Wylie and the second was made on Mar. 
13, 1974 by Mr. Frank D. Jenkins of Ballinger, Tex.
