County Poor Cemetery (East Waco)

Information abstracted and transcribed from Fall and Puckett Funeral Home Records, Vol II (Cemetery Listings), which was a project of the late John Ursy in conjunction with the Central Texas Genealogical Society, Inc. Submitter does not know the location of this cemetery. It is on land in East Waco, but not believed to be contained in any other cemetery. For more detailed information it is suggested that you contact the Central Texas Genealogical Society, Inc as they have all of the resources of McLennan County at their disposal.

Typically these individuals were unable to provide for funeral, wards of the county or state, or their relatives could not be located. Some of these individuals may have been buried on private farms, as well, as the records are not absolutely clear. This is a partial listing only. If there are two dates, the birth date is first, followed by the death date. If there is only one date, it is the death date.
