Mannus
Cemetery
Mannus Cemetery, 28 Dec
1880 This cemetery is located in the northwest quadrant of Red
River County, Texas. From LOST, ABANDONED, FAMILY AND SMALL COMMUNITY
CEMETERIES permission to include here given on 4 Dec 1999 by
Pat Newhouse of Dallas TX, Editor and Copyright Holder: This
cemetery is one of several lost or abandoned cemeteries located
in RRCo TX. These readings are taken from older records dating
back to the 1930's and this is the only record of these burials
as the cemeteries no longer exist. Mannus Cemetery is located
in a private pasture southeast of the Manchester community and
was recorded in the mid to late 1940's. It was unfenced at this
time and open to cattle. As with all the old cemeteries, there
were several wooden posts noting burials. UPDATE: On 19 Apr 2000
Lawrence & Sue Dale were taken to the site of this old cemetery
by Russell Robinett. He has lived within 3/10 of a mile of this
old burying ground since the early 1940's. All that is now left
of this site is a few pieces of rotted barbed wire where it was
once fenced. All the old markers are gone including the four
listed here from the Newhouse book. We did spend nearly an hour
probing the ground in search of any buried markers but had no
success. The cemetery is still open to cattle."
