Cookville Cemetary, Titus County, Texas

Cookville Cemetery is located in Eastern Titus County in the town of Cookville. Cookville has an interesting history and the cemetery attests to some of it. The town was once thriving with multiple business establishments and industries. Tradition has it that A. B. Cook donated the land for the cemetery and it and the town derived their names from him. The cemetery is fenced and kept in good condition. There are two wrought iron enclosures in the cemetery. One has no identification of the person buried there. There are also two graves that are covered with concrete and rock. Neither are identified.

To reach the Cookville Cemetery from the Titus County courthouse, take Jefferson Avenue (US 271) North for 0.9 miles to the intersection with US 67 (16th Street). Turn right (East) on US 67 and proceed 7.0 miles. At the Cookville Cemetery Road that runs to the West of the Phillips-Taylor Cemetery turn right (South) for 0.1 miles. The Cookville Cemetery lies on the left. Coordinates: 33^o11.120'N 094^o51.424'W
