Grave markers and tombstones may have less information than researchers have discovered and provided on this website.
Volkening Family Cemetery
The location of the cemetery is on the property at 745 Ives Creek Road, Bellville 77418 which was purchased Jun 2022 by Ryan and Jessica Schmidt from Sheila Volkening Prescott's estate .
The cemetery is fenced in at a place that can be accessed (with great difficulty by walking) from the road.
The land is very overgrown with trees and shrubs, some of which have thorns. You can't just walk in - you have to plan to deal with the brush along the way.
