Hubbard Cemetery

Anderson Co. Cemeteries of TX

Submitted by Judy Mount

Hubbard Cemetery is an African American Cemetery still being used today. 

Located South of Palestine, Tx  about 5 miles on Hwy 287/19 (Crocket Road) toward Elkhart.  The only sign is a road sign that says Reed Hubbard Cemetery with an arrow pointing right.  The cemetery is up half a mile or so from the highway on an old country road.

The headstones are on a hill off the side of the road. An earlier survey stated there was a crude barbed wire fence on three sides. I did not see this fence.  There are many obvious graves without markers. I was told by a local Mortuary that the people buried in the Hubbard Cemetery were from the town of Beulah which is just down the road from the cemetery.  I went to Beulah and the only thing I could find was a church that said Beulah Baptist Church and a few houses.  I'll contact someone there and see what I can find out.
