    1. Re: [ERATH] Thurber Cemetery
    2. Sharon, There are several cemeteries around Thurber. It is located in the extreme edge of Erath County and is very near Palo Pinto County, and Eastland County as well as Stephens County. During the mining days, Thurber probably had peoples from every country of Europe migrate in for the mining jobs. Erath County had a three volume set of cemeteries pub. in the 1970s by Weldon Hudson & Shirley Cawyer. They also published a set for Eastalnd County. There are also books for Palo Pinto and Stephens though not as well circulated. At its zenith, Thurber had a population of about 30,000 people. New York Hill there at Thurber has memorial marker posts for the native countries of the miners. But my point is, Thurber cemeteries (nearby) would include four counties. Regards, Bill McCarty
