This cemetery is no longer in use and is behind the house place originally belonging to the White family, thought to be on Waterwood property. David Burford, a local resident who is a former employee of Waterwood, reported three cemeteries on the property presently owned by Waterwood. He said they are very remote, except for McGowen Cemetery. They are located on private property that has not yet been developed; however, the areas are marked and will not be sold as private property.

The three cemeteries are thought to be Dishongh, McGowen, and either Overton or Embryfield. The local source did not know the names of the cemeteries but there are definitely graves in three separate places, even though the only markers are of native stone in Overton and in Dishongh.

Johnny Williams, a local resident, reports approximately 25 burials here, some with native stones.

The following names are taken from an article Mrs. Iva Blacklock wrote entitled: "The Ghost Town of Carolina", pp. 10-13. It was published in a collection of historical articles entitled: San Jacinto County: A Glimpse into the Past, Book III, sponsored by Rural Medical Services, Inc., Point Blank, Texas, 1994.
