OLD BETHEL CEMETERY

Old Bethel Cemetery is located in Grimes County. It is reached, however, by going down FM 1372 in Madison County to Bethel Cemetery Rd.   Right-of-way has been obtained and the road now leads directly to the cemetery.

Compiled originally by Mrs. Betty Dean and Mrs. Gussie Hopkins

Thanks to Maurice Spivey Novosad for an updated list.

Thanks to Vanessa Burzynski for the pictures and also to Dale Grissom for the Wells and a couple of Bullard pictures.
