Olive) Cemetery, Lewisville, Texas January 8, 2005. This Cemetery was surveyed and information transcribed by Lori Andreasen. From Denton, take I35 South to Lewisville. Take Exit 449 (Corporate Road). Go back over I35 and go North on the Service Road. Just after Cavendar Boots, but before Huffines, there is a paved road leading between the two, to the United Artist Theater. Turn East on that road. At the end of the Huffines property, on the left, there is a northbound, small paved road, between the Huffines fencing and the Cemetery fencing. Follow that road about 0.1 miles and it ends at the Cemetery gates. This Cemetery is still active. It is known to be an African American Cemetery. It is unknown who manages the property at this time. There are many unmarked Graves at this time. There is no known Platt available at this time. The only known history about the Macedonia (Mt. Olive) Cemetery is that the Core of Engineers (COE) moved 51 graves from the original Champion Cemetery in 1953. The Macedonia (Mt. Olive) Cemetery graves are located in the back of the property. The Champion Cemetery graves are located in the front of the property. ------------------- ________, Kissella, b. June 15, 1900, d.
