Collins Cemetery - Dunbar Twp.

Transcribed from tombstones by Ken O'Neal

Directions: It is located on the hill overlooking the Yough., east of Rt. 201, where Texas Eastern gas line crosses Rt 201, near Vanderbilt. The cemetery is about 30 feet square and has a 3-foot stone wall around it. There are about 10-15 stones, but most are sandstone and cannot be read. These are what I could read. Recorded 1999.
