OAKLAND CEMETERY, Johnson County, Texas

OAKLAND CEMETERY

This cemetery sits on the north side of FM 916, west of Grandview. It is an older cemetery with large old shade trees; many of the gravestones are broken or badly worn, and there no longer seems to be an easily discernable pattern of rows. Many of the graves are marked simply with a small stone, bearing initials, probably to mark a grave at which the headstone no longer exists. 1998, Sharon Peel.
