Riley Cemetery
aka Riley's Chapel, County Line

Riley Cemetery, Camp County, Texas Lone Star, Texas

GPS Coords: 32.9092309, -94.7692262

Located 7/10 mile over the Upshur County line into Camp County. Going north on 259 out of Ore City, turn left onto FM557 (you can only go left). Follow 557 past the junction of 2796 a little ways and County Line Baptist Church will be on your right. Go into the driveway of the Church and you will see the cemetery to the side of the Church.
**There is a green sign on 557 that says: Riley Cemetery.

Our thanks go to Maribeth Buce for the reading of Riley's Chapel Cemetery! Thanks to Merry Smith for the pictures!

This cemetry has a historical marker.

As hard as we all try, we are human and sometimes when reading a cemetery we miss a grave covered with leaves, fire ants, or bushes. Sometimes the headstone has sunk and is mostly underground. Our area also has many graves only marked with iron ore rocks and even many unmarked graves. There are headstones that have long ago been destroyed by the elements or even vandalism, and are hard to impossible to read the details. We would appreciate it if you would let us know if you did not find your relative who was buried here and would appreciate your letting us use the information you know about them. With the combined efforts of us all, we can make the Camp County website bigger and better.
