A neighbor to the Dunklin Cemetery, located atop a small hill among a
small grove of cedar trees, some of which apparently serve as grave
markers. There are believed to be about a dozen or so graves here,
three of which were identifiable and a few marked by small depressions in the ground. The
Trammel's buried here could have possibly been related to Nicholas Trammel, the ferryman for
whom Trammel's Trace was named.

This is north of the Old Board's Ferry Road, the Rusk County section,
which connected Henderson and Tatum via Harmony Hill (Nip and Tuck) and crossed the Sabine
River at Board's Ferry.
