CAMERON CEMETERY, Angelina County, Texas, was visited and photographed on November 16, 2012, by siblings Bob and Sandy Britnell. Each headstone was photographed, and all data of genealogical significance is transcribed here. We have tried to decipher the inscriptions that are eroded or discolored; however, some are just too far deteriorated to read. Other markers, many of native sandstone, are worn away and unreadable. Pictures of individual headstones will be provided to anyone who would like them; email Bob at misterbob@suddenlink.net.
DIRECTIONS: From the caution light on US69 in Zavalla, go south on 69 1.5 miles to FM1270; go right on 1270 5.3 miles to CR368 (Polly Branch Road); turn left and go half a mile to a "Y"; bear left on Cameron Cemetery Rd (has a sign) and go to the cemetery at the end of this road.
