Mount Gilead
Cemetery
In
the spring of 1981, the Mount Gilead Cemetery

restoration of this cemetery in Tarrant
County, Texas. Many
stones were found which may not have been inventoried previously. This
cemetery is divided into two parts by a creek and is located at the
intersection of Bancroft Road

of Keller. Inventoried by Michael E. Patterson.
