From Pearland TX take FM 518 west, turn right onto Hwy 288 and onto Beltway 8 west to Hwy 290, exit right onto FM 362, next exit right onto FM 1488 and take a left onto FM 362. You will pass Camp Allen on the left, continue one mile, there will be a green fence on the left after "Star" Fence. Look for ballons.

This is a Boy Scout project done by Kyle Osborn in Pearland, Texas for the Bay Area Council. He has just recently completed his Eagle Scout project which was to completely restore and preserve a lost and forgotten cemetery in Grimes County, Texas.

The landowner of the property this cemetery is on is Tony Davies of Houston, Texas. The cemetery is now in perfect condition and all the gravestones have been repaired to the original condition. If you have any further questions concerning this cemetery, I would be glad to answer them.

Transcription was done on Jan 29, 2005 by Kyle Osborn and includes all existing gravestones included in the cemetery.
