From the intersection of State hwys 56 and 34 in Honey Grove proceed south in State hwy 34 for 7.2 miles to FM-1550 in Bugtussle. Turn left/east on FM-1550 and proceed approx. 3.4 miles to the cemetery sign on the south side of the road and a gate is on the north. The cemetery is located about 350 yards north of FM-1550 on private property in a grove of trees on a slight hill visible from the gate.

As we expected, the cemetery is located in the grove of trees shown above.

Dial-Chiles-Carter Cemetery


As far as we know, this is an African American cemetery. The cemetery covers about 2 acres but we only found 9 readable stones, 3 other stones without engraving, and a funeral home marker with no information on it. It is apparent there are many unmarked graves since the burials are well scattered in the woods.

You'll note that the name of the Cemetery is Dial-Chiles-Carter, yet we found no Dial or Carter stones in the cemetery. If anyone has information on the history of the cemetery or knows of additional burials, please let us know.
