Texas State Veterans CemeteryThe Texas State Veterans Cemetery at Abilene is finally completed and is fully functional. That doesn't mean there isn't still a lot of landscaping to be done to develop the entire facility but it looks great so far! So there will be no confusion, the cemetery is actually just North of the Taylor/Jones County line approximately 2 miles inside Jones County. It is; however, inside the Abilene city limits so it seems only fair to have a TSVC web page in both the TSGenWeb Jones and TXGenWeb Taylor county genealogical web sites. How To Get There: From the intersection of FM 600 (also known as West Lake Road) and Interstate 20, go North on Highway 600 four miles. The cemetery will be on the right (east) side of the highway. GPS Location: 32.551005, -99.719162 NOTE: This page is under construction and will change from day to day as more information becomes available. Mr. Clint Lynch is the Director of this cemetery and he may be reached by telephone (325-673-4446), by fax (325-673-4448) or by email at jcl@premiercemeteryservice.com. The mailing address for the cemetery is Texas State Veterans Cemetery, 7457 West Lake Road, Abilene, Texas 79601. Because the records for the Veterans Cemeteries are so well maintained, there is no need to provide a burial list on this website. The existing "Nationwide Gravesite Locator" is fast and easy to use. The URL for the "Locator" is https://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/ngl/index.jsp. |
