SAND HILL CEMETERY, Shelby County Texas, was photographed May 30, 2013. As we do in all cemeteries we visit, we took digital pictures of each individual headstone, and will provide copies to anyone who wants them at NO charge.
DIRECTIONS:  From San Augustine, go North on US96 toward Center, about 15 miles to CR 1024; go left and continue about 1 mile until you get to Sand Hill Cemetery, on the left.
The numbers in parentheses following each name is an internal reference to aid in locating the picture of that person's headstone.
I have included a lot of additional information on the MILLS and other related persons, as this family figures prominently in my family tree on my mother's side.
