This cemetery is located about a mile NE of Allen's Chapel on the Allens Creek bank. From 1396 at Allens Chapel, take CR 2750 East past the Allens Chapel Cemetery to a fork in the road. Follow the left fork on to CR 2765 North. Follow this road for a little over a mile. John Yarbough's place is on the right (about where the C in "county road" is seen on the Satellite map below.) There is also a safe place to pull off the road at the top of this map at the far end of the field. This cemetery is difficult to locate in the woods. Without a guide, you are not likely to find it.

Allen & Morgan [aka Woelberg Cemetery]

This cemetery is nearly destroyed. It was referred to as the Woelburge-Wolberg land and cemetery though no Wolbergs are known buried there. In the past 15 years more stone pieces have been found. It is located about a mile NE of Allen's Chapel on the Allens Creek bank.

The photo above is a picture of our first view of the cemetery. It was taken facing about due West. Note the large tree in the back right corner of this photo. The photo at the bottom of this page features this same tree, taken facing South.

According to a story written by Floy Hodge, Elbert J. Allen married Joshua Morgan's daughter (Jemima) only two month's after his wife died. Shorly after the wedding, Jemima's father Joshua Morgan left for California intent on mining for gold but died on the way. This cemetery is on Joshua Morgan's surveyed land.

Joshua Morgan came to Lamar county, Texas in 1838. His second wife,Cynthia Bonnas Morgan (1799-1846) is recorded as buried north of this cemetery on Elbert Allen's land. This grave is not in this cemetery but is close by. We have not yet placed its exact location. Cynthia died 5 Sep 1846 at the age of 47. The stone marker is described as a large native stone well done and will last the ages.
