GPS Coords: 32.470048, -99.999748
Take Interstate 20 West from Abilene, Texas, to Exit 270 which is the intersection with Farm to Market Road 1235. Turn left (south) on FM 1235 and go 0.7 mile and turn right (north) on an unmarked gravel road which leads to the main entrance some 200 feet away. Rose Hill Cemetery is in the eastern edge of the city limits of Merkel, Texas. Going west on Interstate 20, you can see the cemetery on your left just a short distance after you pass the first exit for the City of Merkel.

Fortunately, Rose Hill Cemetery was surveyed several years ago by Jim Lantrip and friends with the results recorded in the USGenWeb Archives.
