This was Coston family land sold by Rosa to C.T. Brown on Dec 15, 1902. There is a paragraph that states as follows:
"containing 342 1/2 acres all of which land is hereby conveyed except five acres reserved for grave yard and located where the old grave yard is and be cut in a square block which block of 5 acres shall be especially excepted in this conveyance, and which the said Rosa B. Coston or heirs shall always be given access".

At the time the above was filed, she was living in Dallas Co. and had been a widow for 18 years.

I was out there a long time ago, found a small fenced in section w/ trailer in the area where the map indicated the cemetery was located.
No evidence of markers, suspect it is lost to Father Time and Mother Nature.
= = = = = =
I went back Oct 04, 2014 armed with my ability to locate graves, something that I was not aware of years ago.
North of the trailer is a clearing.
I "witched" that area and as luck would have it, I located 20+ graves (stopped at that point, point was proven) and they were lined up East to West as the standard Christian cemetery would be. Obivously there is no way to put names on the graves but the existance of the cemetery is proven.

The entire area is now under the control of Atmos Energy.
