MC ALLISTER CEMETERY Location: About six miles northeast of Mt. Enterprise, west of the Rusk-Panola county line Number of graves: 40-50 Number of identifiable graves: 9 Number of non-identifiable marked graves: 20-25 Earliest known grave: 1881 Latest known grave: 1915 Age percentage range: 55% adults, 45% infants and/or children Race count: all black Located in a clearing on the side of a large, gently sloping hill, next to an old logging road. The clearing is quite large, suggesting a larger-than-average cemetery. Only nine graves were identifiable and at least twice as many more were unidentifiable and marked in various fashins such as native iron ire, petrified wood or broken remains of tombstones. Two graves in particular were each marked by a small cast-iron marker resembling a gravestone, but possessing no identification. This is said to be the forerunner of the Hall Cemetery which is about one mile south of this location.
