Slimp Cemetery is just north of
Aurora. From Hwy 114, turn
north on CR 4227. In less than a mile you will see 2 oil field gates on the
right. You go in the double gate and down the road past a brick house on the
left. You go through another oil field gate straight ahead and the cemetery is
on the hill to the right. (Both of these gates may be locked.)
Thank you to Ron Hooper for
these directions.
In August 2001 we found 12 headstones. Numbers 1, 2
& 3 were outside the cemetery's fenced area to the northwest of the fence.
The gate to the fenced area is on the west and was completely
blocked by brush. There were lots of cactus around the headstones. Thank you to
my husband Sonny Tackel for climbing the fence and taking the pictures.
