The Rhoads Family Cemetery is hidden in the LBJ National Grasslands, near Alvord, TX. Thanks to Sue Tackel for her description of how to locate this cemetery.

To find it, start in Alvord and head north on FM 1655, turning right at the railroad tracks at E Pine St. Turn left on N Shankle St and then right on Beyette St. After a few blocks take the left fork in the road, which is Wise CR 2690. The Grasslands gate is a few miles out CR 2690, on the right. It's a light green double gate, with a number 21 on it, with a walk-through side and a drive-through side (which is locked). Go straight through the gate and follow the old vehicle tracks, which will veer off to the right (with a house in the distance). Follow this track for about a half mile to a pond/tank, continuing on the track, to the left. Very shortly, the trail will fork off to the right, and you'll follow this one to another pond/tank. Again, the trail will fork, and you'll go right, towards a grove of tall oak trees. Follow the trail toward the oak trees and go into the woods. You will not be able to see the headstones until you are pretty close in the woods, although the cemetery is easier to locate when the foliage is down.
