Marilyn, I remember the Albion Cemetery because it is strangely located, although maybe not so when first developed. Anybody looking for it has to drive from Highway 37, downhill, and through the woods. I remember, too, the little shed over the grave. An article I read in the Texas historical quarterly had pictures of sheds over graves, sea shells around others, but none of those pictures was from Red River County.
