CONNELL CEMETERY

   This cemetery is located about 3 miles south of Brownwood.  Take C. C. Woodson Road east to FM 2525, turn right for about two miles, then turn right on CR-315 (unpaved road), just prior to the intersection of FM 2126.
This location was the William Connell property and the earlier site of the village of Brownwood.  Here stood the log house which served as the courthouse.    In the fall of 1865, the Masonic fraternity added another story to the building and organized the first lodge in Brownwood.  Failing to obtain water, the building was moved below the Connell farm, a short distance east of the present day railroad bridge.
