Pruitt Cemetery

(Click Here to go to All Headstone Pictures Online)

    Pruitt Cemetery is northeast of Alvord. Go northeast out of Alvord on Fm Rd 1655. Turn left on Rollingwood Rd. and in a half of a mile the cemetery can be seen out in the pasture to the left. There is a white pipe fence around it, and "Pruitt" is over the gate. The gate faces toward the west. To get to the cemetery we walked up through the pasture from Fm Rd 1655.

    In December 2001 there were 2 double headstones at the cemetery.

    Thank you to Bonnie Julius for telling us about this family cemetery. She said it was established in 1996 for her uncle, Jim Pruitt. He was killed at his ranch north of Alvord by two high school boys who are now in prison.
