Shirley, I used Debra's instruction to find the cemetery and to look up the mile-long page of information. Most interesting. From the location given, I will be glad to drive by over the week-end and have a look and look for some grave markers. Maybe that could give you and headstart with your limited time. I have worked on Bonham and 7th and have driven this area of Graham street probably at least 300 times. I have never noticed a cemetery (and cemeteries usually get my attention). However, I probably need to get off of Graham to see it. I recall a Self Storage business on that area of Graham. Maybe the graves are around behind the selfstorage. Whatever, I will at least drive around the block tomorrow and then go from there.

Thanks for checking it out. If you find it can you check to see if it is locked where you cannot get in? I appreciate you doing that. Will be anxious to see what you find.
