Choice Cemetery

aka Sheffield Cemetery
From Henderson, take Hwy 323 northwest. Turn right onto Hwy 42. Go about two miles past Leveretts Chapel and turn left onto County Road 1115. Go 2.7 miles to end of road and turn right onto FM 1639. Go .3 miles and turn right onto County Road 1118D. Before you turn onto 1118, you can see the Gregg County line. The cemetery is behind the ball park.

There are many unmarked sinks in this cemetery and the earliest burial date I found was in 1915. I started at the right side and walked around the cemetery in a counter-clockwise direction. There are no real rows. There are SHERFIELDS and SHEFFIELDS buried next to each other. Gina Heffernan 2003.
