GROSCHKE FAMILY CEMETERY: Between Hwy. 6 & Barker-Cypress Road. RECORDED: At Rest: A Historical Directory of Harris County, Texas, Cemeteries (1822-2001) Including Burial Customs and Other Interesting Facts, With a Listing of Past and Present Communities, Funeral Home and Monument Companies. 2^nd Edition (Tejas Publs. & Research, Houston 2001).

This is another cemetery which is easiest found via the GPS. Take Hwy-6 north from I-10 and turn left (west) on Pine Forest (just south of Clay Road). About ¼ mile down, you’ll find what looks like a tractor path and farm gate on the left (south). The gate will most likely be padlocked and visitors should seek permission of the park rangers before visiting. Once through the gate, follow the tree line around to the right, way around to the right, until you see the fenced cemetery on the right just inside the tree line. There is likely (rumored to be) a negro cemetery just to the left of the fenced in family plot however it has been lost to time and the elements. NOTE: you’ll need permission and a key to get into the cemetery. Contact___??___

NOTE: Use with caution; many errors. Living Tree News 14:4:1988 (Harris County Genealogical

This is another difficult-to-find cemetery where a GPS would be invaluable. Roughly, take Eldridge Parkway north from I-10, past Patterson Road and turn left on War Memorial Drive. Continue about ¾ mile and turn left on Sullins Way. This is where it gets difficult; follow Sullins down and around until you get to two pavilions on the left and a large picnic area on the right side of the road (we need approximate mileage). Park back at the tree line behind the picnic area on the right and look for an opening in the trees leading to a red gate (see photos 1 & 2). From the gate and through the trees, you’ll see a large pasture (see photo 3). On the far side of the pasture and barely discernable in the center of the photo is the fenced in cemetery. It is locked and you’ll need to get permission to enter. The park office is located at the end of Zorn which is the first left off of War Memorial after entering the park.
