New Sabine Valley Cemetery

This cemetery was read by Ryan and Thomas Coker in July, 1990 for Ryan's Eagle Scout project. Thank you Ryan for allowing us to post this information on the Gregg Co., Tx GenWeb Project!

UPDATE! 4-2001 Sharon & Randy Pierce visited this cemetery and took pictures. They read the cemetery for updates which is now added to the original information Ryan allowed us to use.  These updates will be noted in RED. You will note (before one name and ) after the next name. This means that this is a double headstone. 

UPDATE: 3-2008 - Etta Withers & Elaine Martin updated the cemetery with photos

This cemetery is located in White Oak, Gregg County, TX. This cemetery for the most part was relocated from a site approximately 1 1/2 miles east of the intersection of Hwy 42 south and the Sabine River.  When this was done is unknown.  The original cemetery was on the Mimi Castleberry land on the north bank of the river.

Take Hwy 42 south out of White Oak, just past the water treatment plant, turn right, the road curves around and the cemetery is on the left hand side of the road. Being located so close to the Sabine Valley Baptist Church, which is an African American congregation, this is more than likely an African American cemetery.  If we find any evidence to the contrary we will let you know
