FM 167 south from Acton to Pecan Plantation Subdivision. (Necessary to obtain permission from front office to enter). South (left) on Montecello Drive through entire subdivision until reaching Pecan Plantation Fire & EMS. Left (east) on dirt road opposite firestation (private entrance to Leonard Bend Pecan Farm). Follow Road .6 mile. Cemetery is unmarked and impossible to find without the farm foreman. It is located in the pecan grove. The cemetery site is due south from the private dirt road about 100 yards north of the subdvision fenceline. Check in at the farm headquarters before attempting to locate this site because it is on private property. No markers remain and ranch workers say that there were at one time 5-7 graves, fenced and marked with limestone (fieldstone) markers. The site was plowed under in the 1970s or 1980s by an unknown individual. The farm owner and foreman requested an application for a HTC nomination and plan to fence the site once the true bounds can be established.
