MT. CARMEL CEMETERY - DESERT
CR584
CR584
The cemetery is north and west of the brick house. At one time the owners of the house had a sign in their yard saying that visitors could walk through their yard to the cemetery. They have since taken down the sign and put up a fence and an electronic gate. Cemetery access is through other people's property.
Mt. Carmel Presbyterian Church and Mt. Carmel School were here at one time. The deed for the church and school is listed in Vol 14, p 1. The church was south of the cemetery facing south. The cemetery is very neglected with vegetation and trees covering most of it. Most of the stones appear to be standing. There is no sign of vandalism, probably because access is through someone's yard.
It was not possible to see the size of the cemetery because of the vegetation. The deed for the school and church was for 2 acres. There are supposed to be 80 or more graves here. The cemetery is on the W. T. Jackson survey.
On Collin County deed records this is referred to as the Hampton Cemetery and is shown for .65 acres. Some people call this the Confederate Cemetery.
