For those of you that wish to see a few photos I've taken of tombstones in Rockdale email me privately and I'll be happy to send them to you. And.... if you have some of your own I'd be happy to put them on my website. Ric Gordon

Ric, have you taken pictures in the cemetery on the grounds of the Alcoa plant near Rockdale? Two generations of my Snodgrass family are buried there. This cemetery has been called the Freezeout Cemetery and Millerton Cemetery. I have been trying to gather information to write a history on this cemetery and apply for a Texas Historical Designation, can you help me or tell me of anyone in the area who would be willing to do so. I would like to obtain a copy of the pages which are shown in the Milam County Cemetery Book which pertain to this cemetery. Also have been trying to contact the Alcoa Plant to see when they acquired the land so I can get the deed showing the cemetery was located there. Any help will be greatly appreciated and will be glad to help anyone with information regarding Austin County since that is where I live. Joy Snodgrass Neely joyn@industryinet.com

Thanks for the information. I just reviewed the site and found many of my ancestors buried there. Hilton Hunt
