Latimer Cemetery




Latimer Family Cemetery 8 May 1861 Latimer Family","This cemetery is located in the northeast quadrant of Red River County, Texas. GPS COORDINATES: Datum WGS84: 33 Deg 37.965N, 95 Deg 02.137W. This is located on the old family land about three miles northeast of downtown Clarksville. From the intersection of Hwy 82 East and FM 1159, take FM 1159 north 1.3 miles. Turn left into a pasture gate drive and go another 1/10 mile to the farmhouse. STOP! After getting permission to proceed, go about another 1/10 mile on foot to the west/northwest and the cemetery is beside a grove of trees and secured inside a pipe fence. Current owners of the land are Charles and Jeannette Bolton Wilson and are nice friendly folks. They plan to have this cemetery 'set aside' at the county clerks office in the near future. On a beautiful Sunday morning, 25 Feb 2001, this cemetery was surveyed by Lawrence and Sue Dale. The earliest marked burial is that of Lucinda A. Shelton Latimer, first wife of Henry Russell Latimer. We had a nice visit with Charles and Jeannette after the survey work was done. We visited the site again on 11 Dec 2003 and took the GPS readings. We again visited for a while with the Wilson family."
