Well to the west of the end of
Ulrich Lane (off of Fm-2100) and west of the Union Pacific Amtrak
railroad tracks. See the good folk who run Cecil's Backyard at
the end of Ulrich Lane for permission and directions.
John and Mary's daughter, Lizzie, is buried
outside of the wrought iron fence. Hers is the only other
known grave in this cemetery. You can see her stone to the
left of the cleared area in front of the large tree in the
first photo with the fenced area to the right.
The following pictures will give some indication of the terrain
and the 'path' to the cemetery.
For those using a GPS, your kickoff point will be
N29' 54.163 W95' 04.278 (first picture)
which is Ulrich looking west BEFORE you get to Cecil's Backyard.
The next point is at the house N29' 54.139 W95' 04.564 (behind
the house is the utility highline.). From there, a path leads you
to the railroad and the trestle - its the only path and very, very
bumpy in a pickup truck trying to go through ruts made by 4 wheelers).
Once you come out of that, you will pass the utility highline and
come to a fork in the path. Go to the fork that curves West (not the
one heading due south).
From that
point, it will take you to the next GPS point of N29° 54.074 W95°
04.932.
