CORINTH
CEMETERY
Longbranch, Texas
Surveyed by Marylee W. Knight 10-14-98
Additional Information Provided by Barbara Bonner
Directions: From Carthage go west bound on
State Highway 315 for 14.6 miles. Turn right on to Panola County Road 1552 (this
will be the last county road intersecting SH 315 before it crosses into Rusk
County). Continue northbound on CR 1552 for 0.8 miles. A white frame church
identified as Corinth Baptist Church will be on the left side of the road. The
cemetery is visible on the hillside behind the church.
This cemetery is nestled in to thick
forest on three sides. The older marked graves appear near the center of the
cemetery with the newer graves being clustered in the extreme corners of
the cemetery area and on the front slope of the hill nearest to the church. This
would lead to the assumption that the center of the cemetery has a number of old
unmarked graves. A total of 44 unmarked graves were noted during this survey
but the rough contours of the cemetery grounds could easily disguise a large
number of others.
