| From Paris court square, take Market Street / Veterans Drive / Mineral Wells to 69A toward Big Sandy
for approximately 5 and 1/2 miles. Turn left (North) on Maberry Road and follow through Poplar Grove Road, where the road becomes
Elkhorn Road. Continue on this road for just less than a mile, then take a right fork on Old Springville Road. After 1 mile, the
road will take a sharp bend to the right, but continue straight. You are now on Wofford Road. The cemetery is inside the woods on
your right, about 100 feet from Old Springville Road. Travel time from Paris Court Square is approximately 10-15 minutes. Topographical Map: at Topozone.com Google Map: | |

| The Parker Cemetery sits inside woods, near the Old Springville town center. Apparently there was
a Wofford Store on the road that the cemetery parallels, for which the road is named. There were only two stones found
on our visit, and one could imagine that the remaining four graves were probably never properly marked. Regardless, this
cemetery is most obviously not kept up or tended, which leads its condition to poor. Note: The author does not share a relation with this family. |
