Cundiff Cemetery

Cundiff, Jack Co., Cemeteries of Texas

Transcribed and Submitted by  Sue Tackel

Location - Cundiff Cemetery is located between Chico and Jacksboro on Farm Road 1810. From Wise County take Fm Rd 1810 (the road to Jacksboro) out of Chico toward the west for 12 miles. The cemetery is on the left side of the road at the small town of Cundiff.

Condition - In July 2004, the cemetery was mowed and in good condition. We found 519 headstones. The cemetery has been designated as a Texas Historical Cemetery and there is a plaque and a historical marker to the left of the front gate. There is a road on the west side of the cemetery that goes to a gate near the back of the cemetery. This gate opens to a road that leads to a pavilion building in the center back of the cemetery.

The text on the Historical Marker at the gate follows:

Cundiff Cemetery

      When Walker Moore subdivided his landholdings to form the town of Cundiff in 1892 he formally set aside this site for a cemetery. Several burials were already here at that time. The grave of Otto Guynn, a four-year-old boy who died in 1886, is the oldest. Augustus Oliver (1818-1887), a private in the Confederate Army, was the first veteran laid to rest here: he is joined by others from the Civil War, World War I, World War II (including several prisoners of war from the “Lost Battalion”), Korea and Vietnam. Maintained by an association, the cemetery is a record of the generation of families of Cundiff and early Jack County.                 Historic Texas Cemetery - 1999

Layout – We divided the Cundiff Cemetery into 3 sections using the internal dirt roads as boundaries.
