Cemeteries

We would like to thank L. R. Hendersen for submitting the original list of cemeteries and Shane Spencer for providing directions to some of the cemeteries. If you have any records or information, or would like to transcribe a cemetery to be put online, please contact me.

For location purposes, all the cemeteries on the Army base or munitions plant are considered to be on the Red River Army Depot property. Some are still on government property and some are now back on public land where they belong due to the reduction of the base's size.
