Coxes Providence Cemetery

CR 242

The Coxes Providence Cemetery is located in the southeast quadrant of Milam County and

on County road 242 ten miles east of Cameron near Hanover. To travel to the rural

community of Coxes Providence from Cameron, in the north central part of the county,

drive south on Hwy 36/ 190 two point six miles to Farm to Market Road 2095 and turn to

the left. Continue seven miles to County Road 242 and turn to the left on the gravel

road and proceed one mile until the road takes a sharp turn to the left. A dirt road,

CR 242A, will be on your right at that bend, take it for 0. 3 mile. The active

cemetery is on the right hand side of the road, visible from the road. The cemetery

has two parts. The southern part is bordered by a barbed wire fence with light blue

fence posts. It required mowing and string trimming when visited 09/05/2015. The

northern section has no fencing and portions are overgrown with trees which conceal

some of the headstones. A portion of the above information is found in Norrine

Holman's 170 Years of Cemetery Records in Milam County, Texas.
