Hill Co. Cemeteries of TX
Submitted and Photos by Annie Gober Freeman of Tyler, Texas
This cemetery inventory was completed in the 1970's by Eugene and Odette Kennedy Bottom, and Milford and Mayvette Kennedy Willis.
The Rockwall Cemetery is located in Hill County, Texas. It is on county road 934 between I-35 East and I35 West near Itasca. It is on private property and not accessible to the general public. It is not visible from the road, as it is deep within a fenced pasture and the gate is kept locked. It is an abandoned cemetery, almost completely It is overgrown with briars and vegetation. Animals have overturned and broken most of the headstones. Many are buried in the undergrowth. There are many unmarked graves, and the cemetery has been vandalized.
