Savoy, Texas -- As Trustees of the Sunnyside Cemetery in Savoy, Texas, we have been researching people who are buried there but have no tombstone or marker.  We would like to reach out to the community to see if anyone might have information as to where these people are buried.  We have connected some of them with other family members and can assume they may be buried on their lot but cannot be for sure. 

Below is a list of some of the ones in question.  If you have any information on these please call Betty at 903-271-2071.
