Winn Creek Cemetery
By Cannon Pritchard (April 2002)

   This cemetery is  about two acres in size from the fence poles that are still standing located
on private property. There is no gate or entrance to the area. Cemetery markers are scattered
over the area. Some are standing and others are sunken in the ground.  It appears there were
many markers in this cemetery at one time. Most were probably wooden or are buried under
the fallen trees and ground.  It is partially fenced on a high hill in a grove of  pine trees near
the Pruitt and Rice homesites east of  Leggett, Texas.   It is located within a large fenced-in
section of  land with livestock all over the area.

Location:  At the intersection of  U. S. Highway 59 and  FR942 in Leggett, Texas go East
   on FR 942 for one mile to a private residence (log house) on the right. A private road
   behind the residence leads to the cemetery. It is located 3 miles down the road and the
   cemetery is on the left side of  the road in a grove of  pine trees above Winn Creek.
   Permission from resident is required to enter the private property and visit the cemetery.
