CONDITION: very bad LOCATION: Northeast section of Kaufman County, Texas in the Cedar Grove Community. HISTORICAL: History of the cemetery is unknown. First marked burial is 1856. This cemetery was enumerated by the Arlene and Wilbert Jurgens in July 1990 and again by Cheryl Vaughn and Linda Feagin Harwell, October 03, 2001. The cemetery was overgrown with Johnson grass and many of the stones on the first enumeration were not found, some were added to this enumeration. Asterisk (*) indicates those that were not located in the last enumeration. These stones are probably there, but the weeds were so tall, unable to locate. Perhaps about an acre in size. |
