History of Cemetery
Enoch P. Chisholm, a circuit-riding Methodist minister, brought his family to this area in the 1860s. The community which grew up here was named in his honor. Chisholm donated land for this graveyard in 1871, and in 1875 he became the first person interred in it. A chapel, also named for Chisholm, was built that same year on the cemetery grounds. At its peak, the town of Chisholm boasted a school, post office, Masonic Lodge, cotton gin, and stores. Many early pioneers were interred in the Chisholm Cemetery, and some of their descendants still reside in the area.

A gallant soldier an
empty sleeve
Marked his form for,
forty years or more
Strong of will, yet gentle
as a summer’s breeze
Admonishing all, to meek(?)
loved ones gone before.
This life was hid with Christ
in God,
The assurance to us given
And for him to fall asleep
Is to awaken in heaven.

Austin Margaret E. Jan. 25, 1832 Jan. 21, 1901
Wife of Capt. M. S. Austin
Mother Thou wast mild and lovely
Gentle as summer’s breeze.
To her we know a place is given
Among the saints with Christ in heaven.
