Mayes Cemetery, Houston County, TX

Mayes Cemetery, Houston County, Texas

This cemetery is located a mile off of 21 southwest of Crockett. It is immediately off the side of a dirt road and is not fenced. It is very small, unkept and runs along the road for about 25 yards and is only a few yards deep. This is one of the first cemeteries we photographed, so not all stones were done, nor are the pictures good on some of them. However, I decided to include what we had. Perhaps we will go back and redo it in the future.

Please note that the comments column contains my personal observations and things I thought would be helpful. Also, I recorded every marker, which means, one person may be recorded twice if they had two markers (i.e. a military marker in addition to their family marker). If you have any questions after viewing the list, please e-mail me at Letty Harrington.
