Renne Allred Family Cemetery
This cemetery is located on private property near Bells,
Grayson County, Texas.. Visitors must first gain permission of the
property owner. For more information about the location, contact Mirion.
The cemetery is small, about 30 ft X 30 ft, and fenced in. Family members
are welcome to visit with the property owner's prior permission. When we
visited, underbrush and poison ivy was growing all over the cemetery and had to
be cleared away before we could examine the graves.
