There are two Day Cemeteries. The other one is a private one on Fryer Land.
GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 31.7414, Longitude: -96.0772
Background: William Clark Willie Day gave the land for this cemetery. There are
no Days buried here. Most are descendants of William W. Willard and James
William Orand. In late 1870, William and his wife Telitha and their eighteen
children (many with families of their own) started out for Texas from Tennessee.
Directions: Located 4 miles north-east of Fairfield. Travel on 488 from
Fairfield, turn to right (I believe on #123) near the Ward Prairie Baptist
church & community. About a mile to cemetery down bending road on right.
Note - Many unmarked graves are in this cemetery.
Oldest Marked Grave: Oct 5, 1875 James R. Orand
Last Inventoried: 9 Dec 2007 by Eric Wood
Day Cemetery Annual Meeting has traditionally been May 25.
