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.

born in Georgetown, Grayson Co., Texas. Dau of Charles Morrison b. in Grayson
Co., and Lucy (last name very hard to read on death cert. looks like g?rmg?
or the first letter could be a y.or z) born in Terr ( Indian Territory).

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.
