HIBDON CEMETERY in HAMILTON CO., TEXAS:

The Hibdon Cemetery is located across the Leon River south of the Bulman Cemetery. To get there go north from Hwy 36 at Whiteway on CR 303 into a private ranch. Hibdon Cemetery is on the south side of the Leon River and is also south of the Bulman Cemetery which is on the north side of the Leon River.

"From James A. Wright:

"When I was there about 3 years ago we found a grave marker for Ophelia Jane "Hitt" Hull. (Sister to Austin Marion Hitt) She was buried May 18, 1876.

"I was in high school when my great grandmother Polly [Mary Frances "Polly" (Griffith)(Pruitt) Hitt] died & I helped dig the grave. The only grave digging I ever took part in. My grandfather, Will Frank [William Franklin "Will Frank" White], picked out the spot from instructions by Grandmother Mary.
Grandmother wanted Polly buried by Pruitt but without proper markers we dug the grave in the wrong place and a few weeks later, at grandmother's instances, Polly was moved.
There is no way to determine where any of these people are buried today.

"I am sure some of the Griffith are also buried here but I have no way of knowing."
