Greenwood Cemetery Panola Co. Tx Gloria B. Mayfield

Directions: About one mile northeast of Tatum on the Rusk-Panola county line near Hendrick’s Lake.

This cemetery is located just off Trammel’s Trace as it led to the ferry crossing on the Sabine River near Hendrick’s Lake. According to Don Austin in his privately circulated book "42 Lost Cemeteries" the cemetery is "Located in an early-settled area just northeast of Tatum along the Trammel’s Trace. The cemetery is in the edge of a gently sloping hill cleverly concealed in a brush thicket. Many of the markers have been broken some beyond identification. A few had to be pieced together for identification and some of the pieces were missing. A few graves are marked with pieces of native iron ore rock." At the time of his survey Austin estimated as many as 25-35 graves in this cemetery.

It is presumed that this cemetery is all white as there is a black cemetery Hendrick’s Cemetery located about 100 yards south of Greenwood. Hendrick’s Cemetery is presumed to be all black. Additional information regarding the persons buried in this cemetery was furnished to Austin by Mrs. Mary Frank Dunn of Henderson.
