Craven Cemetery

January 3, 1883 a parcel of land (about 1/4 acre) was set apart for a private cemetery. Mr. W.R. Craven and his wife Hannah Craven owned the land and deeded a section of their property for the use of a family cemetery.

Information in Deed Records, Book T, Page 316, at Denton County Courthouse, Denton, Texas.

The land surrounding is privately owned by Mr. Donald Church, Pilot Point, Texas. (1990?)

When the cemetery was discovered in September 1990, only two tombstones could be found.
