                               ANTIOCH CEMETERY
                              Hood County, Texas
 
         This small cemetery is in Hood County near Tolar, Texas.
         It is fenced and has the name in a metal archway above the
         entrance gate. Each time we have visited, the area has been
         well kept.
 
         To travel to Antioch Cemetery from Granbury, go to the second
         blinking traffic light in Tolar. Turn right onto State High-
         way #56 north. Travel on the highway for 4.6 miles. The
         cemetery will be on the right side and very near to the road-
         way. It is easily seen.
 
         Jo Ann and Dustin Massey and I catalogued the graves on a
         cold, windy day in early March, 1990.

Regarding Antioch cemetery:
 
If possible, the following two names should be added to the list of
those buried at Antioch, near Tolar.
 
   GEORGE W. BROWN           b.  3  DEC  1811    d.  6  SEPT  1891
 
 
   MARY MOORE-BROWN      b.    unkown          d.  14  FEB  1910
 
 
The grave of George W. Brown was marked as of 1978, and 1986, but the
stone was badly damaged.  A  new flat stone for George W. Brown was
placed in July 1991, after the 1990 inventory by Mary Kate Durham. There
was/is no marker for Mary Moore-Brown.
 
Your site is very well done and greatly appreciated!
 
Thank you.

Four tombstones have been erected in Antioch Cemetery in recent years.

(1) was erected in 2001 and is located near the three Brown graves. It is the first stone bearing Mary Moore Brown's name, the 2nd to mark Lottie Brown's burial and the 3rd stone to record George Washington Brown's name. The name of Martha Vandergriff, likely buried in Arkansas, is included for the historical information.
