McNiel Cemetery, Angelina County, Texas, was visited, photographed, and transcribed November 12, 2011.  Each individual headstone was photographed, and is transcribed  here exactly as the inscription appears on the headstone or military footstone. You will notice that the name "McNeil" is spelled "McNiel" on some tombstones, as it appears on the cemetery gate. (Information in parentheses does not appear on the headstone, but has been added by this researcher as additional or clarifying information)  Occasionally, additional genealogical research has been done to  clarify missing or unreadable data.  Before an inscription is declared unreadable, every possible avenue is explored to
decipher the writing.
     DIRECTIONS:  From Huntington, go east toward Zavalla on US 69 about 9.5 miles and turn left (north) on Dead Man's Road (CR317). Go about 2 miles to CR318 and turn right. Go about 1 mile to "McNiel Cemetery Road" on the left.  The cemetery is a short distance at the end of the road.
 There are at least 2 dozen identical fabricated metal crosses marking unidentified burials.
