MARYLAND CEMETERY, San Augustine County, TX, is a small African-American cemetery located deep in the woods
south and west of the city of San Augustine. The cemetery was surveyed, photographed, and transcribed on November
23, 2009, by Bob Britnell (misterbob@suddenlink.net). Every grave was photographed; however, many of the inscriptions
are illegible and couldn't be included in this transcription.
DIRECTIONS:  On FM1277; from San Augustine, go about 8 miles to CR336.  (From the caution light at the intersection
of SR103 and FM1277, go north 7.1 miles to CR336) Turn on 336 and go 1 mile to CR337; turn on 337 and go 1.7 miles
to the cemetery. The cemetery backs up to the boundary fence of Venado Creek Ranch; I was treated to sightings of
a couple of spiral-horned African antelopes, but missed the picture.
The abbreviation "(fhm)" indicates a metal funeral home marker. Several headstones had only initials, and others were
only partially legible. My best guess on those stones appear following the transcription.
