Titus County, TX - Cemeteries: Old Union Cemetery ****************************************************** This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb by: David M. Horton USGenWeb Archives. Copyright. All rights reserved http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ****************************************************** The Old Union Cemetery has been a historical landmark for over a century. Lying on the major east/west thoroughfare through the county the cemetery became quite popular for burials. Unlike some of the Titus County cemeteries, Old Union never started out as a family burial plot. It, the original church and the school grounds were deeded to the community by Mr. Isaac Evans. Consequently, public burials have taken place throughout the years. The cemetery is fenced and kept in very good condition. There are essentially three parts of the cemetery which are designated herein as OLD UNION WEST SIDE and OLD UNION EAST SIDE and RIDDLE #2. Riddle #2 is treated separately from the Old Union Cemetery in this treatment. The Old Union Missionary Baptist Church sits between Old Union East Side and Old Union West Side. The affairs of the cemetery are administered by an elected board of directors. In 1998 this board was composed as follows: President-Buddy Price; Vice President-Carol Wilson; Treasurer-Shelia Price; Secretary-Lola Price; Hugh Hatfield; Bill Brown; Roy Price; Eva Harbor; J. D. Reynolds; Henry Roper; Mavis Thomas. To reach the Old Union Cemetery from the Titus County court house take Jefferson Street (US 271) north 0.9 mile to the intersection of US 67 (16th Street). Turn right (east) onto US 67 and proceed 3.6 miles to the intersection of County Road (CR) NE 3 (CR 3045). The cemetery and the Old Union Baptist Church sit on the left (North) of US 67. Coordinates: 33o11.278'N 094o54.816'W Survey completed: September 19, 2000 OLD UNION EAST SIDE Because of its age, Old Union Cemetery (East Side) has many unmarked graves. A number of the existing monuments are seriously eroded. Encouragingly, many families are replacing older monuments with new ones, thereby perpetuating the historical and genealogical significance of the grave sites. There are 101 flat plate concrete markers that theoretically mark the location of unidentified graves. In addition to those, there are two angel figurines marking grave sites. Five unreadable Funeral Home Markers (FHM) locate other graves. One monument, molded from cement, could not be read except for a date _____ 22, 1913. There are two concrete blocks, each with an inscribed cross. One bears the name Richardson and the other Blythe. A curbed plot occupied at one end by the Rose monuments contains several markers: 1 eroded monument, 2 unreadable concrete plates, 1 concrete block inscribed with Claude Gipson, Baby Rose 1916, Baby Rose 1916, Melvin Myers 1905, Earnest Myers September 17, 1905, Elijar Hopkins, Fannie Hopkins 1890-1906. ***OLD UNION EAST SIDE*** ======================================================================================================== NAME BIRTHDATE DEATHDATE INSCRIPTION ======================================================================================================== Adkins, Anne B.
