WILSON CHAPEL CEMETERY - LOWRY CROSSING

CR399

 Houses and mobile homes are on the road to the chapel There is a driveway around the cemetery. The cemetery is unfenced, but is well cared for. This is a large and full cemetery, covering several acres of land. There do not appear to be any old style stones in the cemetery.

The Bridgefarmers were a prominent family in the area. There is a large plot for the family in this cemetery. The chapel on the north was with the Methodist Episcopal Church South. It is no longer in use. A deed for the cemetery is listed in Vol 68, p 63. It was deeded by A. E. Wilson and his wife.

This area was once part of the Higgins community. The old bridge across the East Fork was near here. Today this area is part of the community of Lowry Crossing. The Higgins Cemetery and the Kennedy Cemetery are still in the area.

This cemetery can also be reached by taking FM 546 east out of McKinney about 5 miles, and turning north onto Bridgefarmer Road. The cemetery road is about ¼ mile on the east. FM 546 is called Industrial Blvd./Eldorado Parkway in McKinney. On several maps this is called the Wilson Cemetery.
