Many land deeds were re-filed after the fire, and these records of re-filed deeds have been printed in the quarterly newsletter of the Wood County Genealogical Society.

Endnotes 1. This is an abandoned cemetery located in rural Northwest Titus County on the banks of Ripley Creek.It was obviously and early settlement founded before the Civil War.At one time, history tells us there was a church and post office nearby. The cemetery is on private grounds in a heavily wooded area.Most of the remaining monuments are down and rapidly deteriorating. Briars, underbrush and fallen trees obscure those monuments.Traylor Russell in his "History of Titus County" stated there were 25 monuments in the cemetery but only 10 remain.In addition to the found monuments there were 3 native rocks and a broken brick marking potential sites of other graves.Some depressions in the ground appear as other evidence of grave sites.
