Tarver Cemetery

Tarver Cemetery was surveyed in the fall of 1999 by Carroll C. Tarver
and transcribed for the Tarver-Gen Web site.  This list includes all
markers legible at the time of the survey.  However, there were many
more markers, so weatherbeaten they could not be read.

NW part of Tyler Co. Take Farm Road #1745 E out of Chester, travel
about 5 miles out of Chester to a fork in the road, angle to the
right, cemetery is about 1/2 mile down dirt road.
