Vistula Cemetery, Union Grove, Houston County, Texas

Vistula Cemetery

This cemetery is located down a dirt road southwest of Lovelady. Most of the stones here were cement blocks with crudely hand etched data. Some of them, even recent ones, were difficult to read due to this, so any corrections are welcome. The grounds were mown, but a lot of markers were sunken, broken and fallen over.

Please note that the comments column contains my personal observations and things I thought would be helpful. Also, I recorded every marker, which means, one person may be recorded twice if they had two markers (i.e. a military marker in addition to their family marker). If you have any questions after viewing the list, please e-mail me at Letty Harrington.
