The historical marker reads:
"This burial ground served teh farming community of
graham which grew up here after teh civil war. The first known
interment was that of aninfant, george Isbell, on Dec. 10, 1865. An
adjacent structure housed a school adn Graham Baptist Church. After
1881, most of teh settlers moved to the nearby town of Argyle on the
Texas & Pacific Railroad. The school and church were moved in
1887 after their meeting place burned. In 1888 this property was
deeded for cemetery use by C.N. Jarrell. In 1974 volunteers began
restoration of the plot, which has about 238 marked
graves." |
