Alvord Cemetery is
located on the north side of town. Start out of town on Fm Rd 1655 and turn left just past
the water tower onto W. Woody or W. Greenwood Street. Both streets run into the cemetery.
the picture above is the South Gate at Woody street. Below is a picture of the
Middle Gate at Greenwood Street.
Inside the Middle Gate in the Middle Section is a
Rock Sign that says Established in 1884.
In 2012 some headstones had been set in a new
section just to the right of the Middle Gate. This new section was called 4E
(East).
At the time of our
survey in October of 2000 we found 2,010 headstones.
In 2012 the cemetery was partially updated. Section
4E was added and all new headstone pictures were taken in the North Section 3.
This section 3 was all renumbered. A few new pictures and headstones were
photographed in Sections 1 and 2. At that time 2,147
were found.
The picture above is the road between Sections 2 and 3.
The new cemetery layout map is pictured above.
