Cedar Hill Cemetery
Honey Grove, Fannin County, Texas, USA
Cedar Hill is a well kept historically African American cemetery with an active cemetery association. Early death certificates indicate that this cemetery was first called "Cedarwood". It is still unclear when the name was changed to Cedar Hill. Some Death Certificates also refer to the cemetery as "Rock Hill". Originally blacks who died Honey Grove were buried in a section of Oakwood that was set aside for black burials. There is a recorded burial of an African American, A. T. Smith, at Oakwood in 1924. However, there are a number of stones and death certificates for burials at Cedar Hill that predate 1924. The earliest stone at Cedar Hill is that of Jobe Taylor, with an interment date of 1908. The next oldest stone is that of Harriet Spence Tatum, with an interment date of 1910. Note, however, that her death certificate indicates interment at Oakwood. There are other stones with death dates of 1911-1913. The earliest death certificates we have located that indicate interment at Cedar Hill are those of John W. Ballinger, with a death date of July 19, 1914, Nettie Blackburn, with a death date of May 10, 1914 and Will Morris, with a death date of July 29, 1914.
