Holden-Thompson Cemetery

Private cemetery of the Holden family, now owned by the Thompson family. Located close to the Pearl River, it is a very picturesque spot. There are several confederate and War of 1812 soldiers buried here. The oldest (marked) grave dates back to 1827.

 

Directions: 

From I-10 take the 603 North (= exit 13). Turn left on Texas Flat Road. You can also simply follow the signs to the McLeod State Park. Go past the Park office entrance - on the right hand side - and take the next road to your right. It is a dirt road, no pavement, do not travel after heavy rains. Follow this very picturesque, winding road for about 1/2 a mile and you will see the cemetery on your right.

 

 

Cemetery layout: 

Row numbering starts at the road and graves are numbered left to right. See diagram for layout.
