Morris Cemetery, Smith County, Texas -- NW-50


Take Hwy 69 north from Tyler to the intersection with Jim 
Hogg Road (CR431). Turn right (east) on CR431 and follow 
it east and then north until you reach the underpass under 
IH-20. Continue to proceed about 1.5 miles north on CR431 
to the vicinity of the address 15527 CR-431. Immediately 
to the north of this address and on the east (right) side 
of the road is a drive which goes to a red barn with a travel 
trailer next to it. The cemetery is about 50 yards north-northeast 
of the barn in a wooded area. If the gate to the barn is 
locked, proceed on CR431 about 100 yard north and there is 
another un-gated entrance which opens on to an unfenced 
pasture. Proceed straight into the pasture to the woodline 
(about 100-125 yards) and the cemetery will be to your right 
and just inside the woodline.

This cemetery is located on land bought by Jesse Morris in 1855.
