The name Tranquil is certainly appropriate for this cemetery. Its quiet setting and magnificent vista helps to sooth those grieving visitors to the grave sites. Of interest are the numerous ways in which grave sites are marked without inscribed monuments. There was a flat granite slab with no inscription marking one grave. A native stone that appears to once been in the shape of a cross and appears to have been inscribed but the elements have taken their toll marked another. At least 179 flat concrete slabs mark other sites. Then there were three marble slabs, one unreadable funeral home marker (FHM), and four native rocks standing alone. Three small granite slabs that have "Baby Massey" mark some grave sites. The cemetery is dominated by two mortared brick vaults that have no inscription
To reach the Tranquil Cemetery from the Titus County court house, take West 1st Street west for 0.5 mile to the intersection with Ferguson Road (US 271). Turn right onto Ferguson Road and proceed 1.3 miles to the intersection with US 67. Turn left onto US 67 and proceed 7.1 miles to the intersection from the right with County Road (CR) 1070 (CR NW 3). Turn right onto CR 1070 and proceed approximately 2 miles which brings you to a Y intersection from the left with CR 2010. Take the right fork which remains CR 1070. The cemetery lies 0.8 mile on a hilltop on the right of the road. Coordinates: 33o12.470'N 095o07.242'W
