Hancock Cemetery
Mexia, Limestone County, Texas

Lat: 31° 40' 51"N, Lon: 96° 30' 38"W

Contributed by Bruce Jordan, Sep 30, 2004 [bjordan@glade.net]. Total records = 20.

One mile west of Mexia on Hwy 84, on the north side of the Hwy, next to and on the east side of Cedar Hill Burial Park. There is just a fence separating them.

This cemetery is owned and maintained by the Hancock Family. The first recorded burial was Frances Hancock in 1865, and the last was Lucinda Hancock who died in 1939. There are several graves marked only with rocks or pipes.

These records were compiled in the Spring of 2004, when I walked and read this cemetery. This includes all existing headstones.
