Other Information: |
I only searched this cemetery because of a
RAOGK (Random Acts of Genealogy Kindness)request. I was looking
for a special individual - a Civil War Verteran named John Fortney.
The cemetery is off Highway 5 - jest east of the highway 5 / 128
intersection on an unmarked dirt road in Garland County. The
cemetery is barely fenced, but there is no cemetery name we could
locate. An old Volkswagen bus is parked on the cemetery grounds.
