The cemetery transcription source from Cemetery records of Cooke Co., TX by the Cross Timbers Gene. Soc.

12 years after this transcription was taken, Mary Kirby visited the cemetery and could not find the tombstones; apparently cattle have been allowed to roam through the cemetery and many stones were broken.

It is thought that when Moss Lake was built, some of the persons in this cemetery were moved from a resting place near the Red River to this location.

More information about cemetery:

Worley Cemetery was relocated in early 1940's when Camp Howse (Army Base) was built. The Camp was closed soon after World War II. Springhill Cemetery was relocated at the same time and were combined. It is hard to tell which cemetery is which. The Worley family are buried at the east end of the cemetery. In 1855 there was very little settlement in this area. All that were living in that area moved to Gainesville or eastward during the Civil War as it was the frontier and Indians raided often, even after the war. Researching this family on Ancestry.com, one tree has Julia dying in Fannin County, Texas and buried on the family farm. The farm was sold to a Lee Family and they have a cemetery there.
