Nip & Tuck Cemetery

From Tatum, go southeast on Hwy 43 about 2 1/2 miles. Turn left (east) onto FM 1716. Follow past the curve. This cemetery is on private property and is not accessible.

I received photos today (12/15/2008) of Nip and Tuck Cemetery from Diana. This is what I've come up with.
Thanks, Diana!

Hanna Reese
died Aug 30, 1889
age 35 yrs
Gone to Rest		 There was a John and Luvinia Reese who lived close to the Bates with children Daniel, Mary and George. (Just a suggestion, Luvinia was 22, Hanna would have been 26.)

There is a tree carving that says
"Beware Ye of the Curse of Sarah"
I don't know how old the
carving is.
There was a Sarah buried here.
An earlier catalog gave no
surname but the death date
1894 - age 75 yrs 		The only Sarah I could find on the 1880 Census in District 75 was Sarah Chapman, a widow, with children William, Frank, Alford and July. Sarah was 58.

I don't believe this is the right Sarah.		 Sarah
