I have driven by that cemetery for years. I called around and could not find a phone number for it. You might write to Gregory Cemetery in Gregory TX. It is on a bend I pass by when going to Corpus Christi. I called several other cemeteries, funeral homes etc. trying to find a phone number or an address. I could not. find that for you. It is a small town. I would write the Post Master in Gregory Texas and see if he could put you in contact with the right people. I know it is the only cemetery in Gregory.

Thanks. What I really need are some close-up, sharply focused photos of some stones there. I am particularly interested in Francis Karoly, but there are several Karoly family members there, and I would be interested in all of them.

Here is the list. The members buried in Gregory are the ones I am interested in. Let me know if you are able to help.

Thanks.
