All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ***************************************************************** Directions and GPS added by Lawrence E. Oliver 14 February 2004 From Tyler, take Hwy155 southwest until you come to CR196 and turn right (west). Follow CR196 (goes west and then curves south) until intersection with CR198 and turn right (west). Continue west until you deadend into CR1100 and turn right (north). Go to intersection with "7 League" road and turn left (west). Follow the road until it begins to turn left (south) and at that bend there will be an aluminum farm gate. Go through the gate for about 50 yards and you will be at the cemetery entrance gate. The cemetery is behind the house at 15592 '7 League Road'. The cemetery is surrounded by a chainlink fence. To look at this cemetery you would assume that it that it is not full, but according to local people the open areas at one time had wooden and red rock markers. Due to time and vandalizing only a few red rock markers are left.

Tx Submitted By Jennifer and Pam Lackey Seven Leagues Cemetery By: Jennifer and Pam Lackey Date - September 11, 2000 This is a small cemetery located on Seven Leagues Rd. in Noonday,Tx. It is surrounded by a chainlink fence. To look at this cemetery you would assume that it that it is not full, but according to local people the open areas at one time had wooden and red rock markers. Due to time and vandalizing only a few red rock markers are left. We only noted the red rocks that we could tell fell in a row of headstones. I have pictures and more information on each tombstone. I also have information on most of the people listed. If you are interested in pictures or more information feel free to e-mail me.
