Steven Rainwater & Susan Chance-Rainwater 22 Apr 2000 Graham Cemetery Directions: This small cemetery is north of Argyle, Texas. At the intersection of Hwy. 114 and Hwy, 377, go north through the town of Argyle. A mile or two north of town, take Country Club Road, which splits off to the right. A mile or so up the road, you will find the cemetery in a grove of trees on the left side of the road. Ft. Worth Mapsco #446P. Condition: This is a well cared-for cemetery, maintained by the volunteer members of the Argyle Cemetery Association. Donations to help with maintenance may be sent to Box 184, Argyle, TX 76226. The Texas Historical Commission marker was placed in 1976, and reads: This burial ground served the farming community of Graham which grew up here after the Civil War. First known interment was that of an infant, George Isbell, on Dec. 10, 1865. An adjacent structure housed a school and Graham Baptist Church. After 1881, most of the settlers moved to the nearby town of Argyle on the Texas and Pacific Railroad. The school and church were moved in 1887, after their meeting place burned. In 1888, this property was deeded for cemetery use by C. N. Jarrell. In 1974, volunteers began restoration of the plot, which has about 238 marked graves. _____________ MADDOX, W. N.
