NOTE: I only do transcribing and helping people with genealogical research. I have nothing to do with the cemetery, so if you are looking for information on purchasing plots or rules and regulations of the cemetery, contact the caretaker or a local funeral home.
Located in the Bald Prairie community, at the intersection of Hwy. 979 and Hwy. 2096.
An historic marker reads: "A leading citizen, Elijah Rains (1813 - 1889), who came to Texas from Tennessee in 1848 gave this burial ground to the public. Duck Creek people soon joined the Prairie people in its use. The earliest known burial was Walter Pirtle, date uncertain. The grave of Samuel E. Lightsey (1827 - 1872) has the oldest marker. Veterans of the Civil War and later conflicts are buried here. The Cemetery Association was formed in 1928. In 1957, Gilbert Sterling Ross added a donation of one acre to the original five-acre plot. Annual Memorial Day services honor some 700 marked graves." (#10900/1976)
