Old Shady Grove Cemetery - Houston Co., TX

OLD SHADY GROVE CEMETERY

Located about eleven miles east of Crockett off FM 232, within property now owned by Jack Jones. There is no access road, nor sign identifying cemetery. Two acres of land were deeded on August 28,1886 by W. F. Bayne to W. B. Wall, County Judge "for the purpose of the grounds for the grave yard and school house. (Recorded Vol. 38, page 423, Houston County Deed Records).

The fenced area is smaller than the original graveyard was. Many of the graves are marked, but others are not easily located and
identified. Many of the Bayne family are buried there, but have no markers.
