Background: African American cemetery. Referred to as "Cedar Grove Cemetery"
or simply "Grove Cemetery". Do not confuse with Cedar Hill cemetery near Mexia
in Limestone county.
Location: South of Streetman off FM 80. Take FM 80 southward out of Streetman.
Continue under I-75. Turn right onto country road 1110. Cemetery is west of FM
80 between FM 80 and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. The cemetery
is just north of Cedar Creek. One can see the railroad tracks from the cemetery.
There is a single "cemetery" sign with arrow at 1110 and FM 80 intersection.
Description: The cemetery is surrounded by a chain-link fence and has two
double-gate entrances. Currently there is no cemetery sign over the entrances.
There are numerous cemetery signs throughout the cemetery designating family
plot areas. There are roughly 125 marked graves in the cemetery with about a
dozen easily identifyable unmarked graves.
