    3. I was mistaken-- there IS a Millerville Cemetery in Erath County. It is located a few miles south of Duffau in the southeast corner of Erath County. My thanks to Bill McCarty for helping out. The text of his msg to me is below. Hindsight is always 20/20. I should have studied the map of Erath County instead of merely consulting the index. I've run across tiny cemeteries before that aren't indexed- I must be getting forgetful in my old age. :-) Best regards, Brit Ferguson > Brit, > The community of Millerville is gone.....all that remains is >the cemetery. > If you look at The Roads of Texas, there is a "cemetery" which is >back > west and south of Duffau.
