Briar Branch Cemetery

(Click Here to go to All Headstone Pictures Online)

Alphabetical information and layout order list follow on this page.

    Briar Branch Cemetery is a couple of miles out to the east of Alvord. Start out of Alvord to the northeast on Fm Rd 1655 and turn right in town just past the railroad tracks. This is Pine Street but it becomes Old Decatur Road. Follow it a couple of miles and as the road swings to the east you will see the cemetery off in the pasture on the right. There's a pipe gate on the road with a sign that says Marcon Operating Co. - Clyde Smith Lease.

There were 48 headstones when we took photos in October, 2000.
Layout order listing-
We started at the gate and went south and then back (east) in rows.
