Ole Webb Cemetery

On July 27, 1962 Bill Redditt located and visited this cemetery. He found it approximately 4 ½ miles SE of Marshall on the Elysian Fields Hwy, near the residence of Cythinia Henderson. Only the following stones were located and part of them were broken off. All were flat on the ground and overgrown with weeds. UPDATE:  March 2006 - Donald Wilson tried to find this cemetery for us and this is what he had to say: From IH-20 turn south on TX hwy 31 for about a mile. Turn left on CR-1017 (Joe Road) and follow it North, past a curve to the right, and then immediately to the left. Go to the last abandoned house on the right and the cemetery is supposed to be close behind it. I walked through the woods until I played out and had to stop. I found no signs of a cemetery.  The coordinates of the house are at N 32.492071 W 94.292506.
