Bridget, 4 of the 5 cemeteries line up great, but Lone Star will be on a run by itself, or it could be part of a big circle. (This get a little long to include the details, a map would be much simpler. The Chamber of Commerce has a Red River County Map (they sponsor it) with the county road and it shows a cross here a cemetery is, but it does not list the name of the cemetery. It will be a big help) Clarksville Cemetery (Old Baptist Cemetery) is on Washington Street one block south of Main (82). If you turn south off 82 at the Dairy Queen, you will run into it. For "Old" Shamrock from Clarksville take 82 west to FM 2573 (Bagwell cutoff) and go about 1+ mile and Old Shamrock will be off on the right about 1/4 or more of a mile. I think there is a sign on the highway. It is clear pasture land (view) to the cemetery. For Bluff Cemetery continue on through to Bagwell and continue to follow FM 2573 to the west (make the 90 degree turn in Bagwell). About 3 miles (guessing) west of Bagwell look for the cemetery sign, you will turn right (north) on CR 2127. There is a sign on (FM 2573) (This is the simplest way to get to Bluff, but CR 2127 does continue to make a complexed horseshoe and comes back to FM 2753, so you may see the CR2127 sign closer to Bagwell, but wait till you come to the 2127 with the Bluff Cemetery sign, at this intersect, there is a different cemetery on the south side of FM 2127, ignore it.) You will be at the top of the horseshoe when you get to Bluff Cemetery (2 or 3 miles). Go back to FM 2127 the same way. Then continue westward to Detroit. Below is a copy and paste from Lawrence & Sue Dale's information on how to find the Detroit Cemetery which is south of Detroit. Detroit Cemetery, 3 Nov 1873,"This cemetery is located in the southwest quadrant of Red River County, Texas. GPS COORDINATES: Datum WGS84: 33 Deg 38.993N, 95 Deg 15.948W. This cemetery is located about a mile south of Detroit and a city block to the east of FM 410. Now for the big circle to Lone Star, drive south out of Detroit on FM 410 (watch out for the split in the road about 2 miles out of Detroit, be sure to stay on FM 410. Continue about 6 to 8 miles south on FM 410 until you take a left (east) to Fulbright (should be a Fulbright sign). Continue through Fulbright and staying on FM 411 about another 3 miles until you hit State Hwy 37. Turn left of northeastward on 37 toward Clarksville. Within about 4 or 5 miles you pass the Lone Star Community Methodist Church on your left and about 1/4 mile more on 37 you will see a sign for the Lone Star Cemetery, you will turn right (south) on CR 1330. The cemetery is about 2 miles south, you will not be able to miss it (on the right) (a lot of my wife's Townes family is buried here) Then back to Hwy 37 and continue northeastward on Hwy 37 to Clarksville. If you have any questions, let me know.
