HOLMES CEMETERY

DON AUSTIN "LOST CEMETERIES"

Located about 1.5 Miles east of the state line in De Soto Parish, from Logan community in Panola County. Holmes Cemetery is located just over the line in Louisiana, but undoubtedly was used by Panola County residents. Found in the edge of some woods led to by a logging road, on fairly level ground surrounded by an old chain link fence. Twenty-nine graves were identifiable, which is well above average for a medium sized cemetery such as this. One of the markers identifies the grave of a Civil War Veteran, W. B. Shirey.
