THOMAS GRAVE
Our deer hunters find some of our lost graves. This cemetery is on private
land. Red Baker found this grave in about 1977. On the way to Dean
Cemetery, across White Oak Creek,
there was a grave on the right of the road on top of a hill with a rock bearing
the inscription
Wife of Johnny Thomas, age 17
years
This cemetery is on private property. Take State Hwy 94 west out of Groveton or
east out of Trinity. Turn at the Dean
Cemetery sign. Continue on the road through locked gate
& past the hunting camp. 70 yards
beyond the bridge turn right on vehicle trail.
100 yards later turn left on another trail & follow it for 0.2 mile. This is a hunting lease, and it is suggested
you wait until after hunting season to visit this site. It is suggested that you take a four-wheel
drive vehicle or large pickup, because the trail has been washed out and is
narrow. Take State Hwy 94 west out of
Groveton or East out of Trinity. Turn at
the Dean Cemetery
sign. Continue on the road through
locked gate and past the hunting camp.
70 yards beyond the bridge turn right on vehicle trail. 100 yards later turn left on another trail
and follow it for 0.2 mile.
This cemetery was physically visited September 19, 2005 by Herschel Brannen
