About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Rocky Point (aka Lightfoot) is an abandoned cemetery just a few yards off FM 3224 on the west side, approximately 2/10 of a mile from US 287. An early county cemetery survey done about 1990 noted the only remaining headstone was that of L.S. Lightfoot though others were known to be buried there. Photos taken Jan. 31, 2014 shows a second headstone. It marks the grave of Lee Gray, 1870-1900, and was placed about 2000 by a descendent of Lee Gray. One resident said that in 1954 there were 39 headstones in the cemetery. An earlier report estimated as many as 50, many graves marked by large rocks. Accounts by residents of the area say the cemetery was destroyed when the FM 3224 (Balloon Base Road) was built in the early 1960s.
