Tatnell Cemetery

TATNELL, HOLLIE, 1859 - 1911, "Come Ye Blessed: To the memory of our mother, Mrs. Georgia E. Carter, Washington, DC & Andrew L. Hunter, M.D., Marlin, TX"

The cemetery now bears her name as a tribute to the town's African-American community. Land developers built a median around the grave to continue making headway on the residential neighborhood that now surrounds it. In 2007, the Texas Historical Commission officially denoted the site as a Historic Texas Cemetery.
