Yes, I know there was at least one. I have an aunt that had two stillborn children buried there...in the Flag Lake area...don't remember the name of it. And I haven't been able to find whether or not the graves were relocated. I'm going to visit my older sister at Seven Points this week-end and I'll ask if she remembers. If you find out anything, please post the answer to the list and I'll do likewise. Doris in west Texas

There is a state law which says any cemetery must be made accessible to anyone. The property owner (of the surrounding property) has complied with the law by having a walk-thru gate at the road. His drive-thru gate is locked. The Wreay Cemetery is quite a distance from the road, but you can walk to it.
