This old cemetery is located between Hwy. 69 and Jim Hogg Road (first 
road north of 1-20 on top of hill) about 3 miles south of Lindale.  
There are a total of 29 graves marked in some fashion so they can be 
identified.  Those not having stones are so indicated.  Interviews with 
local residents in the area say that some of the LAND family is buried 
there;  also Dr. Walter GIBSON's mother and several in his family 
(plot marked by pipes); and a man killed at the railroad.  There are 
many other unmarked graves.

Old Nebo Church, which burned years ago, was once located near here.
