This Cemetery is North of Ivanhoe at the intersection of Park Road 34 (Lake Fannin), FM2554, and FM273. There is no road marker for this cemetery which is normally customary. It is very sandy there and easy to get stuck. It's best to go when the roads are dry.

Darnall Cemetery

In the photo above are the stones of Robert & Rachael Darnall. The story is told that Robert C. Darnall was mortally injured in a cyclone. While dying, he pointed to a small rise and told those with him he wanted to be buried there.

The cemetery measures about 40’ X 40’. The Bettis family plot is fenced all around but the entire cemetery is grown up with bushes, trees, brambles, and vines.

Stones marked by * were not found at this reading. Stones with ** were added at this reading. One burial of Henry Darnall 1872 - 1891 was deleted as it was clearly a duplication of the stone recorded for Henry C. Bettis.

The majority of the stones appear to be flat concrete markers with attached metal plates containing initials, last name and years only. We get the impression that there may have been earlier stones now gone which contained more complete information as evidenced by the previous transcription.
