    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.
    The data below is in alphabetical order by last name.
