Notes:

In 2019, met with Doug Macnair who researched Gravis Cemetery on behalf of Cobb Creek Property Owners and as a Representative to Williamson County Commissioners Court. Doug and Alyssa Gilbreath’s report is linked below. The cemetery address is 757 Cobb Creek Rd, Jarrell. WCAD address is incorrect.

WCHC’s Vol I, pg 105 submitted by Mrs. C. M. Kauffman & Myreta Matthews 1975: “located on the Hartwin H. Holstrom [Holmstrom] ranch NW of Georgetown off SH 195. Turn E at Rattlesnake & continue to where the road turns right. House on the left is Holstrom’s. Cemetery 1/2 mile in pasture.”

NOTE: due to Ronald Reagan Blvd construction in the area (2012+) WCHC Vol I directions will be outdated.

2019 directions: from FM 2338, head NE on Ronald Reagan Blvd, turn left onto CR 239, turn left onto Cobb Creek Rd, go 1,313 ft and cemetery will be on the left side of road.
