Trammel Cemetery, AKA Chapel Hill Cemetery, Rusk Co, Texas *********************************************************** Submitted by: Carolyn Green < > Date: 24 Apr 2007 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************************** I spoke with a couple of ladies that have lived in this area all their lives (one was 93 years old!) and she said that this cemetery has always been called Trammell Cemetery but some people refer to it as Chapel Hill cemetery because it is so close to the Chapel Hill church and is in the Chapel Hill community. This is a shorter route to the cemetery but the roads are just dirt and it is a rougher trip! From the traffic star, go 7.4 miles out hwy 43 towards Tatum. Turn right on CR 324 and follow. This road will turn into CR 326. The distance from Hwy 43 to the cemetery is 4.2 miles. Cemetery is on the left. You can get to this cemetery on better highways by going 1.1 miles from the traffic star down Hwy 79N to FM 3135E. Turn left on this road and drive for 6.5 miles until it deadends at FM 1251. Turn right and go 3.4 miles to 2658 and turn left. Go another 1.6 miles to CR 391 and turn left. Go 3/10 of a mile and take a left on FM 326. Cemetery is ½ mile down this road on the right.
