Settlement in this area began shortly after
Fort Graham, a frontier military post established
here in 1849, was abandoned in 1853. The first
recorded burial in this cemetery, named after the
fort, was that of infant Charley Botkin in 1879.
The Cemetery was the only one of a number of
historic graveyards in this area to remain
undisturbed by the creation of Lake Whitney in
the early 1950s. Among the more than 300 people
buried here are many of the area's early settlers
and descendents. The cemetery remains active and
and is maintained by an association formed in
1966. Sesquicentennial of Texas Statehood
1845-1995
