*Note
James M. Perrin is listed as James N. Perrin on this stone. The death date is in question because we have found James M. Perrin's obituary in the Sept 18, 1890 Dallas Morning News reporting his death on Sept. 6, 1890.
This plot is surrounded by a chain link fence that is about 4 feet high and is approx. 12 yds by 8 yds.  Gravestones are numbered 1 thru 7.  Stones numbered 6 & 7 are inscribed for more than 1 person.  There are 10 people buried at the cemetery as far as we can determine.
