Since no monuments existed in the cemetery, no effort was expended to locate it exactly. Located about 4 miles west of Mt.Pleasant in the John Thompson Survey. Lynch Harper writes in his “Titus County Cemeteries” “The only thing remaining at the original location of this cemetery is the base of one monument and a part of the top”. Other monuments have been broken and hauled away. Riley Mitchell was the first Mitchell to come to Titus County, and he settled in that area and was buried there. A son of his by the name of Red John Mitchell is buried there. Other members of the Mitchell family and other people were buried in this cemetery, and J. A. Davis says there were some 15 or 20 graves. This cemetery was called by some as Capel’s Cemetery due to member of that family being buried there.
