Driving Directions:From the intersection of FM 92 and FM 1013 in Spurger, travel 4.3 miles east on FM 1013. Turn right onto dirt road. There is a sign identifying the land as being owned by Temple Inland Forest Products Corp. Go 0.3 mile and turn right onto the first road. Continue 0.3 mile to the end of this road and park. Three graves are located approx. 175 ft. south of road, on west bank of small creek. The three graves are located on a heavily wooded creek bank and are very difficult to find. The cemetery is not a map feature. It is not fenced, and there are no signs indicating a cemetery at this location. During the survey, several very large pines had fallen across the graves, hiding them from view. There are three granite headstones and at least two metal funeral markers. One headstone could not be read due to a large pine that had fallen across the stone. The other headstone inscriptions read:Hugh AlexanderBinghamOct. 22, 1821Oct. 30. 1884Maltida Smith DukesBinghamBorn 1848(Died 1863)The third headstone reads:Joyce [?]BinghamBorn [?]
