Burrow Family Cemetery |
Shelby County Texas
Transcribed by John Warner & Ray Jackson, June 23, 2000.
The cemetery is located on private property off Highway 7 near Pine Ridge cemetery. The cemetery is completely abandoned and all markers are destroyed. The ones left are broken and seemed to have been knocked over by cattle using the area as a path and/or resting place. There were at one time about 20 or 30 graves in the cemetery. All have been lost except the few pieces that could be matched together. It is believed the last burial in this cemetery was in the late 1920s or early 1930s.
Special thanks to Mrs. Mary C. Lewis for her assistance in locating this cemetery.
