Plot
The Providence Cemetery is located about five miles southeast of Eastland on the south bank of Lake Leon. To gain access you have to go by boat. The old cemetery has been neglected for over one half century since Lake Leon covered up the road leading up to it. We had three workdays last year and one so far this year. We hope that in a couple of more years we will have it cleaned up. The briars were so thick that we had to get on our hands and knees to cut our way into it last year.
