CARTER CEMETERY
Cotton, Grimes County, Texas
Compiled by Melba Boney Wells
17 April, 2001
Directions: From Bedias go east on Hwy 1696. Turn left (north) on CR 134, go 2.5 miles. Turn left (west) on CR 132 and go .5 miles, turn right (north) on Bedias Road, follow this road and turn left (west) on Cross Roads, follow road then turn right (north) on Cemetery Road. Cemetery is on the right.
When I first copied the names in this cemetery, back in the early 1970, we had to walk to the cemetery from the wire gap and iron gate. Ora Bullard Corner went with Retta Linzy Smigala and me to show us the way. Ora told us of various family members that are buried there and some do not have head stones. There are signs of unmarked graves. Also, in compiling data on the Boney-Stutts Families, I found others that are buried there. Note that I have used full names if possible.
To view pictures of these tombstones go to Carter Cemetery
