The oldest grave is that of a child who died in 1884. W.J. Bounds (1830 – 1886) donated the land as a community cemetery after the death of Elizabeth McWhorter on Feb. 28, 1885. In 1900, residents of Celina began to relocate their homes along the railroad (2.5 miles NE). By 1910 only this burial ground remained at the original town site. A cemetery association was formed in 1918. Several more acres were later added to the cemetery which contains about 600 graves. (Historical Marker dated 1976 Directions to the cemetery: Take hwy 289 south of Celina, west on CR 55, cross over railroad tracks, cemetery is on the south side of the road. Most of the following information was taken from the book “The People of Old Celina Cemetery”, researched and written by Gayle Maxon. This is a must book for anyone who has someone buried in this cemetery. This book contains obituaries, short stories, and history on most of the families in this cemetery. Some of the dates and names on this list vary from the actual information on the headstone due to information I took from the book (obituaries and funeral home reports).
