George Collins McCurley set aside land for a burial ground, church and school. A traveling stranger may have been the first burial, but George's brother, Abraham, who died in 1871 was the first family member buried at the site. The first marked graves date from 1877 when the plot began to be used by neighbors. In 1951 the 106 graves which then comprised the cemetery had to be relocated because of the construction of Lewisville lake. They were moved here, adjoining Old Hall cemetery, burial place of George C. McCurley. This survey, done in December 2005 by Bob Leahy, is based on the markers found at the site (the McCurley Cemetery site consists of all graves located north of the private road at the north end of the combined cemeteries. The earliest date of birth recorded on these markers is 1818; the earliest date of death is 1842.
