Wharton Negro Cemetery

Wharton County, Cemeteries of Texas

Submitted by Lois Kennedy

Cemeteries of Texas Coordinator: Dolores I. Bishop

This cemetery occupies one-fourth of the same block as the White Wharton City Cemetery in Wharton. It is bordered by Alabama Street on the north and Grove Street on the east. It is unfenced and receives minimal care. It was rumored that it became so overgrown that a number of years ago a bulldozer pushed all the markers to one end to clear out the vegetation. Stones were replaced as best as could be remembered.

Sammy Tise surveyed this cemetery Nov 13 1997. Many of the burials are without markers of any kind. Information on burials can be obtained from Pierce Boone Funeral Home, Wharton, Texas.
