Titus County, Texas Cemetery Search

Brantley Cemetery is a small family cemetery in rural southwest Titus County that was probably established around 1880. It is on private property, but ingress and egress are stipulated in deed restrictions. The cemetery is enclosed with a galvanized pipe fence and ornamental wire fencing. A large monument with the Brantley name is located in the center of the cemetery. Eight markers are plainly visible at the foot of concrete slabs that cover each grave. The cemetery is well maintained, and surplus land makes it difficult to determine if there are other burials in the enclosure.
