Young County, Texas - Cemeteries - Mountain HOme Cemetery *********************************************** This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Dorman Holub Chairman, Young County Historical Commission Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************** Mountain Home Cemetery Take Hwy 1287 south out of Graham ten miles and turn left on Mountain Home Road. Cemetery is well kept and on private property. Dr. F. McClendon came to Young County from Tennessee in 1870 and settled in this area. Dr. F. McClendon donated the land from his property to the Mountain Home Community which was located near the cemetery. Dr. McClendon and his family lived in a log cabin near the cemetery and the log cabin was still standing until a few years ago. As years passed, the Mountain Home School consolidated with Bunger school. Families moved away and the cemetery went into disrepair until 1950 when F.G. Wiley and Donald Wiley collected money from the citizens of the area to build the fence around the cemetery. A fence was built by Ben Burgess and F.G. Wiley. The Gooseneck Cemetery Organization worked and cared for the Mountain Home cemetery for some time, but then as time passed the cemetery was forgotten again. In 1990, the Young County HIstorical Commission became interested in "forgotten cemeteries". The City of Graham donated name markers for a number of "forgotten cemeteries" in the county, one of them being the Mountain Home Cemetery. Rand Camp, a Historical Commission member, donated his time to erect the signs in the cemetery. Commissioner Sam Whittenburg had a gate installed for the cemetery on the east side. Should you have interest in the people of the cemetery, I would be more than happy to share what I know from my personal research. - Dorman Holub Name Birth Death Unknown Unknown Unknown Unknown Unknown Unknown Unknown Moore, Luther 21 July 1889 30 March 1903 Moore, Tina Jane 12 November 1893 24 August 1908 Moore, Margareth Elizabeth 1863 1934 Moore, George Washington 1861 1950 Gibbs, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Riley Gibbs 1908 1908 Lisle, John Jefferson 1896 1943 Lisle, Oliver Dale [rock] 10 October 1929 10 October 1929 Unknown Unknown Unknown Unknown Owens Alice Clementine 22 September 1869 6 August 1947 Owens, Andrew P. 29 December 1859 26 July 1932 Unknown Beach, Mary Alma 6 June 1869 14 August 1889 Beach, Thelma 21 August 1905 24 October 1907 Owens, infant daughter of Andrew P. and Alpha C. 29 July 1888 29 July 1888 Owens, Alpha Clementine 30 June 1905 8 April 1906 Pinkston, infant of B.H. and Teresa 1912 1912 Driver, Edward Lee 18 July 1876 25 March 1879 Lisle, Dellar C., infant son of Tom and Alice 1897 1897 Lisle, Sam 10 February 1893 22 October 1918 Lisle, Mrs. Martha Ann [rock] 31 December 1880 31 October 1968 Lisle, Millie Alice 1874 1937 Lisle, Thomas Lafayette 25 February 1870 1 September 1959 Carsland, Mrs. M.J. 16 August 1835 Dec 1898 Lisle, Billie: infant son of Henry and Sally Choate 20 January 1926 27 January 1926 Lisle, Frances Estell 27 July 1927 27 July 1927 Horton, Mrs. Buna Mae 20 November 1912 22 February 1928 Unknown Unknown Toungate, Dollie 1809 1904 Foulks, W.C.: infant daughter of T.J. and W.C. 6 October 1882 9 December 1882 Foulks, W.C. 28 December 1859 11 June 1883 Foulks, T.J. 1856 unable to read McClendon, Stella 13 September 1889 17 April 1908 Jones, infant son of Jake Jay and Dollie Ann unable to read unable to read McClendon, Lola C. 11 October 1874 29 January 1879 McClendon, W.C. 1 October 1811 10 February 1892 McClendon, Robert M. 23 August 1867 23 May 1937 McClendon, William E. 1872 1932 Blevins, Lucinda Pairlee Shields 21 February 1846 15 April 1928 Blevins, infant McClendon, Dr. F. 25 October 1838 2 May 1893 McClendon, Mary E.
