All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm **************************************************** The Brookshire cemetery this is for is located directly across from the Royal school district High School. It has a sign on the gate at the entrance saying “Brookshire Memorial Oaks” but the sextant tells us it was also previously known as the “pauper’s field”.
