 GEORGETOWN CEMETERY II
near Pottsboro

This cemetery is the Black Section of Georgetown Cemetery, it is located across the street, most of it is unmarked, though some metal funeral home markers are there they are unreadable. 
The present visible section is inclosed in chain link fencing and is a modern addition to what probably was a quite large cemetery. 
It was noted as Georgetown Cemetery, Negro Pottsboro Cemetery and Negro Georgetown  Cemetery in death records.
I found the article at the bottom of the page which tells of the burial of Andy Rice here and also tells us when the cemetery was established.

Though this article is 'tacky' to say the least it does give us the info 
on when the cemetery was established and that he is buried here. 
I wish someone had bought him a tombstone. 
There might have been one at one time but nothing is there now.
