VINES CEMETERY

It is on property owned by Mr. Quinn, owner of the Quinn Farm (Pilgrims Chicken) on FM 2796. The cemetary is about 3/4 a mile behind his house on the electric company right-of-way. It has a cyclone fence around it and only Ben and Nancy Vines headstones are legiable. There are many graves with only sandstone markers. The cemetary is approximately 100 feet square. This is on the old Caddo Trace road that once led to Jefferson,Texas. The road is no longer visable.  Thanks go to Charles F. Burgess for these directions and for the pictures!

These were the only two headstones that were readable in the 1960's.

Benjamin Vines 
d. 1855

Nancy Vines      d. 1866
