I was in Bell County for part of the day today and managed to photograph
a few cemeteries in the SE section of the county. First of all, I took
about 18 photographs at Sunshine Cemetery. I tried to go to nearby Reed
Cemetery, but the bridge was out. I then photographed a small abandoned
Cemetery which I believe is called German Methodist. (There were huge
vultures there.) I tried to find a burial site called Pennington
without success. (The landowner later called me and said her husband
knew were the small plot was.) Discovered that Jackson and Science Hill
Cemeteries aren't accessible by the public. I photographed the gate of
Davilla Cemetery, just across the Milam County line. (This one probably
used to be in Bell County before the line shift.) Tried to find McCann,
but failed before it got dark. I then took a photo of the gate of
Rogers Cemetery after dark.
