Rose Hill Cemetery
aka Merkel
How To Get There: Take Interstate 20 West from Abilene, Texas, to Exit 270 which is the intersection with
Farm to Market Road 1235. Turn left (south) on FM 1235 and go 0.7 mile and turn right (north) on an unmarked gravel road
which leads to the main entrance some 200 feet away. Rose Hill Cemetery is in the eastern edge of the city limits of
Merkel, Texas. Going west on Interstate 20, you can see the cemetery on your left just a short distance after you pass
the first exit for the City of Merkel.
GPS Coords: 32.470048, -99.999748
Fortunately Rose Hill Cemetery was surveyed several years ago by Jim Lantrip and friends with the results
recorded in the USGenWeb Archives.
