North of US Hwy 79 about 1 mile west from Jacksonville, Texas. Turn north on CR 3304 from US 79 across the railroad track and the cemetery is on the right. It is fenced and well maintained. The cemetery has been used by African-American families since the early 1880's and continues to the present. There are many unmarked graves and empty spaces which may contain graves. The earliest marked grave is that of Walter Jones who was buried in 1881. This survey was done in May 1997 by Gaylon White and published in 1997 by the Cherokee County Genealogical Society.
