MURRELL CEMETERY

Murrell Cemetery is located north of Illinois Bend and difficult to reach so I'm very indebted to Matthew Waack of San Antonio who visited the cemetery on March 21, 2006 and took the pictures found here.  His coordinates on his GPS for this site are: N 33 deg 53.593' ; WO97 deg 29.217'.   Matt observed that there doesn't appear to be much left of this little graveyard and there may be stones that are lying buried or hidden beneath leaves.
