HERRING CEMETERY - Hood County

Herring family burial site for generations. First grave was the mother of S. C. Herring in November, 1880.

Driving instructions to the cemetery from Granbury: Leave Granbury town square on North Houston Street. Travel 3.5 miles on Highway #4 to Thorp Spring. Turn right onto Highway #2580 and proceed for 3.5 miles to the entrance or Arrowhead Shores. Turn right into second gateway with the name in the stone markers. Inside the area of Arrow- head Shores turn left and drive to swimming pool. Turn right an Park Street. Take first left onto Highland Drive. Follow that to Highland Circle. Turn right and continue to the cemetery gate. You will have driven approximately .5 mile within Arrowhead Shores. Highland is a very winding street. There are mobile homes that will hide the cemetery from your view; so look carefully!

In August, 1988, we found 63 groves that were marked and could be identified. There are at least twelve or more with fieldstone markers, but there is no inscription visible.
