| The
names, monuments, language and funereal motifs on the markers make
it seem like you're visiting a Eastern European necropolis. The custom
of displaying porcelian portraits of the deceased is very much in
practice here. |

Directions
From the square in Fayetteville the water tower is visible to the
east. (Be warned - the square was not set up on a standard N-S axis.)
Head toward the water tower and turn right at the post office which
is right next to the water tower. This is FM 1291. Drive down accross
the railroad tracks and turn immediately to your left. The cemetery
gate is visible from here - it's just 300 feet or so.

Subject: Fayetteville Cemetery
I've been looking through your website and would like to visit some
of the places described. Do you have GPS coordinates for the Fayetteville
Cemetery? I haven't been able to turn up a description for the location
so far. It would be helpful to publish GPS coordinates for reference,
since many people these days either have them in the car or use handheld
units while out exploring new places. Your site has been quite interesting--
I've been laid up in bed with a rather nasty bug, and it's helped
to distract me from feeling quite so miserable. Planning trips to
some of the historic cemeteries has been a good diversion. Thank you
for any assistance you could offer. - Sincerely, Kim Stephens,
