History: From The Tales and Trails of Bailey County:
"The Bula Cemetery was set up in late
1929. It was used for a few years, then it fell into disuse with
a very unkept appearance. About 1976, a group of concerned citizens
banded together into a cemetery association, and began the work
of restoration. Since restoration work was started, a new fence
has been constructed, the lots surveyed and marked off on a plat
made by Chester Setliff, trees have been planted and it is now
kept mowed, with a much more pleasing appearance. The location
of the graves have never been established, but by searching records
and by private records, the names of the 'above' persons are
listed as being buried in the Bula Cemetery. A permanent marker
has been erected with the names of all those buried in the Bula
Cemetery on it."
In 1988, the Cemetery Association was still organized, with Betty
Harlan as President, and Faye Jones as Secretary. The Association
can be reached by mail at Bula, Texas 79320. The cemetery is
open to any who would wish to use it. The lots are free, but
anyone buried there must have a permanent marker so that no more
graves will be lost in the future. If you have loved ones interned
here and they do not have markers, or an obvious mistake has
been made, please contact me by email: Gloria
