Seadrift Cemetery
The Seadrift Cemetery is located 1 mile
north of State Hwy 185. Driving East toward Port O'Connor turn
left at Cemetery Road and the cemetery is 1 mile from that point
on your right. It is enclosed by a chain link fence and is laid
out northeast to southwest.
The cemetery is maintained by the
Seadrift Cemetery Association, Box 181, Seadrift TX 77983-0181.
This survey was done by Leonard Joe McCown and was completed in December 1979. Since that time there have, of course, been
others laid to rest in the cemetery, but we will start with this
survey and will begin to add to this information.
