A-L------ M-Z


Location: Behind the United Methodist Church in Ovilla, Texas. The Cemetery is in use regularly and maintained. The oldest grave recorded is 1887.

# 1 -Shiloh I cemetery has the earliest recorded stone of 1851. I am sure there were burials before then, since the church was formed in 1847, but no lasting markers were set. We have closed it to sales because we have dug into graves and don't want to do it again if we can help it. We know of some people who own plots in it and suspect many more that were sold plots but never recorded. The old man who used to run the cemeteries was proud of the fact that he had it all up here (tapping the side of his head) but unfortunately he died and took it with him. I have given you a plot map and a list of names taken from the stones. You will note a column marked "8". This means they are buried. If a date appears that is correct. If no date appears it means we probably picked up that information from some other source and do not know where the grave is. If no "8" appears it means a stone has be erected and they are still alive or buried some other place. There appear to be some duplications but it is because a mate died and a double stone was erected then the remaining mate remarried and is buried by the second marker.-
In locating graves use only the letter and the first number. The numbers behind the dash ( -) are for a revised system we are still working on.-

#4 -Ovilla cemetery. Same information applies as Shiloh I. Owned by the First Methodist Church in Ovilla, Ellis county, TX.-

The Ovilla cemetery does not have sign over the gate right now because we have it down to be refurbished. Hope to have it back up by the end of summer. Since there are only two of us to do all of the upkeep and maintenance some things just have to wait.-(2004)
