Located on part of the original William Coombs survey, this cemetery contains burials dating to the 1850s. Originally known as Troth, it was formally dedicated in 1881, when Z.E. Coombes and W.R. Fisher set aside land for a “graveyard forever.” Pioneers buried here include W.R. Fisher, Z.E. Coombes, John and Bosina Loupout, Mary Ellen Cole Tuggle, and Heinrich and Anna Struck. Veterans of the Civil War and World Wars I and II are also buried here, along with Clyde and Buck Barrow. Trinity Oaks Church of Christ maintains the historic cemetery.
