Located about 12 miles north of Decatur out Fm Rd 730. Go past CR 2445 (Brumbalow Road) and turn right in the "CG Bar Ranch" gate. This place is the old Murphy place and is now owned by Cody Gillispie who has Dal-Tex Enterprises there. From the front gate on FmRd 730 go straight on the pasture road over the hill and past a very large tank, or lake, on the left. On the right you will see a tall single mound. The cemetery is in a plowed (sprigged with coastal roots) field just behind this mound. The remains of two headstones can be seen in a small patch of trees in the center of the field.
