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