Graham Point Cemetery

History
5
Named for Daniel Boone Graham and his family, who settled in this area in the mid-1800s, Graham Point Cemetery was established on Graham's land and served the Graham Point and Union Valley communities for more than 100 years. One of the earliest graves was that of Resina Graham in 1860. Many early graves were marked with bois d'arc posts that either burned or were removed. Several pioneer families and their descendants are buried here, including early settlers named Hurst, Lindsey, McCasland, Partin, and Williams. The last recorded burial occurred here in 1991. Bricks once used to mark graves in this cemetery were made at a Graham Point kiln that operated before 1900.
