As hard as we all try, we are human
and sometimes when reading a cemetery we miss a grave covered with leaves,
fireants, or bushes. Sometimes the headstone has sunk and is mostly underground.
Our area also has many graves only marked with iron ore rocks and even
many unmarked graves. There are headstones that have long ago been destroyed
by the elements or even vandalizm, and are hard to impossible to read
the details. We would appreciate it if you would let us know if you did
not find your relative which was buried here, and would appreciate your
letting us use the information you know about them. With the combined
efforts of us all, we can make the Gregg County website bigger and better.

Just over the Gregg County line into Harrison County. There are many
Gregg County residents buried here.
NOTE:
As of 2016, Temple Emanu-El in Longview applied with the state to have their Hebrew section inside Memory Park recognized as a separate Harrison County cemetery. It was recently granted by the Texas Historical Commission. They are working to get their burials moved over to the newly designated area that is to be their cemetery. There is no current plans to erect a fence, so it may be confusing where Memory Park Cemetery stops and the new one starts.
