Because of the community's location so close to the county border, it was first believed to be in Shackelford County, but was later confirmed to be in Jones County.  The cemetery is located near the border, so inclusion on the Shackelford Co. TXGenWeb Site was thought appropriate. Shortly after the turn of the last century, the community declined and its school was consolidated with Nugent. The cemetery was probably begun in the 1880's, however, the oldest gravemarker still legible in the cemetery is that of Lucile Arnold, infant daughter of F. M. and C. E. Arnold, who died on December 11, 1890 just before her first birthday.
