Walnut Grove Cemetery, Walnut Grove Community, Smith County, Texas -- SE-16

From Tyler take Hwy110 south through Whitehouse. South of Whitehouse, 
turn right (west) on FM344. The cemetery is about 2½ miles on the right 
(northside) of the road.

On September 30, 1903 Mr. and Mrs. Charles Canton donated 2 acres of land 
to the Walnut Grove Community. Later that year (1903) Robert Shackelford 
was being taken to Gandy Mountain for burial over bad roads. When the party 
reached Walnut Grove, the road was impassable and they were forced to bury 
the 88-year-old Mr. Shackelford there, starting the cemetery. His is the 
first grave, and unmarked.
