Inscription
Julie Leonard, David Murphy, Hallie Murphy, Charles Dawson and I surveyed and photographed all of Old Cedar Branch on July 1, 2013. We did not find a headstone marking this grave, all except I have relatives buried here and Charles remembers as a child and young man coming to this lovely old cemetery, not far from the banks of the Trinity River, and knew were many of the family plots and rows are.
