Downs Cemetery 
T22N R35E Section 27
 
Downs Cemetery is long-abandoned, now over-grown with weeds and in danger
of encroachment from a neighboring farmer. Most of the graves have been
moved, all that is left is one lone stone and two fenced areas. Many 
stones and bodies have been moved to other cemeteries, including Hillcrest
in Harrington.

The cemetery is located 1/2 mile south of Downs in S27 T22N R35E, on the 
east side of McKinley Road at its intersection with Richardson Road. To
get there, go SW from Harrington on Highway 28 to Doggett Road, then south
about a mile to Downs Road, then follow it to McKinley for less than a mile
to where it T's at Richardson. The cemetery is to the left, or east.

This cemetery was walked in the summer of 1999 by Pat Rice and Marge 
Womach.
