This list is generated from field notes made in several decades ago, and should not be exclusively relied upon for information. As a project of the Bell County Historical Commission, County cemeteries are being re-inventoried and lists such as this one are being updated in doing so. As the computer list is prepared from a photocopy of a list that was typed from field notes which could have errors in field observations, researchers should be careful about relying on this information for other than perhaps leads. Caution is advised, but it is hoped that researchers may be helped by it, as the intent is to provide the best information that volunteers can provide. Corrections, changes, additions or additional information is welcomed, and will be considered for inclusion with the next update. Established in the 1860s by pioneer settlers Samuel G. and Helen LEATHERMAN, this cemetery served as the community burial ground for citizens of Donahoe. The earliest documented grave here is that of the LEATHERMAN's infant grandson, who died in 1869. Other interments include those of an unidentifed woman and child who died while traveling through the area; pioneer settlers; and veterans of the Texas Revolution, the Civil War, and World War I. The cemetery remains as the only physical reminder of a once-thriving community. This list is from BELL COUNTY TOMBSTONE RECORDS, Vol 1 of 2, and some information is included from the Historical Commission's GUIDE TO HISTORICAL MARKERS, and is used by permission of the West Bell Genealogical Society and Bell County Historical Commission. These volumes contain some 64 cemeteries of Bell County, and will be converted to computer format a few at a time.
