Crutchfield Cemetery

This cemetery contains the graves of African Americans and is located on private property. In 1988, the property was leased by Emory Knapp, Aubrey, TX. There are two areas where graves are located and a fence separates the two locations. When the cemetery was active (year unknown) there was a building used for school and church in the middle of the two burial areas. Last known burial was for Anna Townsend between 1948 and 1958. Mr. Emory Knapp attended the burial but wasn't certain of the year of burial.
