Directions:
From Carthage go westbound on State Hwy 315 for 7 miles to the
intersection of SH 315 and FM 1970. A
flashing yellow caution light marks this intersection.
From that intersection continue westbound on SH 315 for 1.4 miles, until
you see the intersection on the right marking County Road 1531.
After that begin watching the right side of the highway for the green and
white Highway Department sign that says “Roquemore Cemetery”. (This sign
will be 6/10 of a mile past the intersection with CR 1531.)
Turn right on the indicated private road and go a short distance to a
stand of big trees where road dead ends at a gate.
The cemetery gate will be on your left when you reach that point.
