History

This burial ground served the farming community of Graham that grew up here after the Civil War. The first known interment was that of an infant, George Isbell, on December 10, 1865. An adjacent structure housed a school and Graham Baptist Church. After 1881, most of the settlers moved to the nearby town of Argyle on the Texas and Pacific Railroad. The school and church were moved in 1887 after their meeting place burned. In 1888 C. N. Jarrell deeded this property for cemetery use. In 1974 volunteers began restoring the plot, which has about 238 marked graves.
