Thanks to Carol Taylor and John Byrd of the Hunt County Historical Commission for giving me a push in the right direction towards finding this very elusive marker, which is on private property, behind barbed wire. Please respect the property owner by taking only photographs and leaving only foot prints. Cherry Hill itself is long gone, there's nothing else to see here.
