- From Wheelock, TX take 391 (SW) to Dunn’s Fort Road. (You will pass the Wheelock Cemetery on your way.) Turn left onto Dunns Fort Rd. At the point where it looks as if the road has dead ended, turn left again. Follow Dunn’s Fort Road to a turn-off on the right hand side. This road used to be Dunn’s Fort Cemetery Rd, but changed names recently to Pryor Lane. Go over two cattle guards. The cemetery is on the right after the second cattle guard. There is no road - just a grass track, but the (new and beautiful) cemetery railing is clearly visible from the cattle guard.
