OLD ROCK HILL CEMETERY

Old Rock Hill cemetery is located in the Reese community near Jacksonville, Texas. It is on the east side of County Road 3410 to the north of US Hwy 175. It is located on deeded property Cherokee County Appraisal District ID # 104005030 near the Mrs. Ollie Handley family property, and is extremely overgrown and covered with brush and fallen trees. Headstones are scattered throughout the cemetery with no distinguishable rows, so in this listing all are listed as row A. There are many unmarked graves and empty spaces which probably contain graves. This cemetery, used by people of African-American descent, has marked burials as early as 1883 and as late as 1934. It is no longer in use as current burials are in the new Rock Hill cemetery, also located in Reese. Contact Floyd Marshall, Cuney Cemetery Organization, PO Box 116, Cuney, TX 75759, 903-876-2166.
