Martin Family Cemetery

Shelby County Texas

Information provided by Pat Jones July 27, 2000

 

The cemetery is locate off Highway 7 East and FM road 2608 on private property.  It is in need of care, it is somewhat abandoned.  In 1997 a Martin reunion was held at the American Legion Hall in Center.  The host of the reunion was D.W. Martin.  At that time a collection was collected for the purchase of a fence.  There are three small graves that have no dates only some worn toys which were probably left by cleaning of the site. 

Special thanks to Pat Jones for assistance in the information on this cemetery.
