This project is for those buried in the Mesquite Cemetery, Lee County, Texas.
This rural cemetery is located six miles northwest of the town of Lexington at the end of County Road 336 and about a mile off of FM 112.. There is a directional marker with the cemetery name at the turnoff from highway FM 112. The cemetery is about 330 feet wide and 290 feet deep.
The cemetery has been associated with the now extinct community of Liberty and is in an area that was once known as "Little Denmark" due to the large number of Danish settlers.
Although the cemetery is relatively old and has marked graves dating back to the 1860s, it was unmarked on USGS maps from 1948 and 1950.
