Britnell. This is another old cemetery, with graves of some early settlers in East Texas. There are many unmarked and unreadable graves, including the grave of our great- great grandmother, Almedia Amanda (Hopson) Stringer, whom we are sure is buried here. DIRECTIONS: From Broaddus, go east (from Pineland go west) on FM83 to FM705; go south on 705 about 6.5 miles to FM3173 and turn right. Go about 5 miles until the pavement ends; continue on a very short distance on the dirt road to the cemetery.
