Total records = 34.
It is at the corner of Edwards and Stickland, in the corn field, back
in the trees on the north side.
At the time the cemetery was first put into use it was part
of the town of Jameson, but the town has disappeared and is now Van
Alstyne.
The cemetery is in terrible condition, animals have burrowed into
the graves, the stones have fallen over, and it is over grown with
trees, most of the trees have since fallen over on top of the graves!!!
Compiled by Melissa Williamson and Larry Jeffery, we walked the
cemetery and took pictures/wrote it down. We copied all the stones
that we could find.
