This cemetery is used by the local Afro-American population and is located in the northwest quadrant of Red River County, Texas. From Detroit proceed east on FM 2573 about a mile to the first road right or south, CR 2127, and the cemetery is located on the south side. It is located in the Edward Dean headright survey. There is a deed dated 18 Apr 1910 and filed for record in Book CH Vol 65 Page 531 transferring 1/4 acre of the E. M. Dean survey from Millia Young, deceased, to Long Street Baptist Church. Another deed made on 12 May 1934 and filed for record on 15 Sep 1934 in Book CH Vol 136 Page 20 conveys 1 acre of the E. M. Dean survey from P. Y. Grey et ux to Long Street Baptist Church. The oldest headstone is that of Elizzie Nowlin who died on 18 Jun 1887. This cemetery has been thoroughly cleaned up and many markers are now visible that were not before. This cemetery was surveyed by Lawrence and Sue Dale on 31 Jan 1997. We revisited this cemetery on 21 May 2000 and did a spot check for recent burials. As time has passed we are discouraged as the cemetery is again becoming more and more unkempt. This as of 21 Dec 2003 when we visited to take the GPS Coordinates. We also did a re-walk of the cemetery adding new burials and noting marker changes. As of 31 Dec 2004 this cemetery had 199 documented burials.
