 History of the Yarbrough Cemetery at Yarbrough Bend

The Yarbrough Cemetery originally located at Yarbrough Bend, first settlement of McMullen County, was moved in 1982 to make way for Choke Canyon Reservoir.  The Yarbrough Cemetery was moved to Hill Top Cemetery in Tilden, TX.  This is the archaeological report for the Yarbrough Cemetery.  This report is located at the John Swanson Yarbrough Acrchives.
