DIRECTIONS:
Take US380 to Farmersville. About 1 mile past the Dairy Queen, turn south onto FM547. About 4 miles, turn west onto CR643. The cemetery is about 1 ½ miles further on the north side of CR643. A one-lane dirt road leads into and divides the cemetery into two sections – East & West.

The Prairie Grove Cemetery served residents of the Aleo Community from the late 1800s until the middle of the 20^th century. The burial ground has ties to the Prairie Grove Baptist Church, which set aside land to be used for burials. The oldest known grave in the cemetery dates to 1895. World War II hero Audie Murphy lived in the area for a time, and his mother and grandparents are buried here. Victims of the 1927 tornado that came through nearby Nevada are also interred here. A vestige of rural settlement of the 19^th century, the cemetery serves as a reminder of the pioneer community of Aleo. - - - Historic Texas Cemetery 2005
