LONE STAR CEMETERY, COLEMAN COUNTY, TEXAS

        The Lone Star Cemetery is reached by going about five miles northeast of Coleman on Texas State Highway 206 and turning right (east) on FM 2302.  After about a mile, turn right (south) down a county lane.  This lane at one time crossed Hords Creek and continued south, but it is not now in use and a locked gate has been placed across the road.  At this gate, walk about .2 mile and then a short distance into a pasture.  It is now located on the Steve Griffin place.

       At one time there was a school (Lone Star) and the cemetery.  The cemetery was fenced, but in 1932 there was a flood that washed many of the stones away and left others disarranged, making it difficult to re-establish the cemetery.  A few graves have been fenced by one family, but the others are scattered about where the cows graze.
