DOUGLAS FAMILY CEMETERY ON GREB RANCH



Located in edge of wooded area west of large pecan trees, and the old Albert Douglas home place, which is 1/4 mile North of the
Old Arbor Road about 4112 miles east of the Courthouse. Mr. Albert Douglas gave the land for the cemetery, which was once enclosed by a black wrought-iron fence. Cleaning and upkeep of this cemetery was abandoned in the middle thirties.

 

Monuments marking the graves have disappeared, along with bricks marking some of the graves. One petrified wood marker lies about ten feet west of Sallie Douglas' grave.
