Sunset Community Cemetery
aka Billingsley Cemetery
Perry, Texas
GPS Coordinates: 31.421032, -96.988261
There are TWO burial sites at this location, Sunset and Billingsley, which is why they get confused. The two cemeteries are separated by about 50 yards.
From Riesel, go south on Highway 6 about 1 mile and turn right (west) onto Rice Road. Go 4 miles and turn left (south) onto Blue Bluff Road/CR 108 for another mile. A dirt track going to the cemetery is on the left (east) side of the road at 31.421107, -96.990651. This is probably private property.
Survey was done on all the visible and readable stones. Recorded and submitted with sign photo by Carol Couch and Shawn Hughes, December 2007.
