Holly Springs Cemetery

HOLLY SPRINGS Cemetery, Nacogdoches County, Texas was visited & photographed April 24, 2017 by Bob Britnell and sister Sandy. We took a picture of each individual headstone, and some pictures of the cemetery in general. Pictures of individual headstones are available to any one who asks; we do not charge a fee for any service we provide.

DIRECTIONS: Take US59 north from Nacogdoches. From the junction of US59 and US259, go almost 7 miles north on 59 to Holly Springs Baptist Church. Turn left across from the church on CR157; go about half a mile to the cemetery on the left. This is a well-maintained cemetery with a lot of open space for future burials. Numbers in parentheses following each name refer to the picture of that particular headstone. We have 27,000 pictues of individual headstones, so if you request pictures please include the name of the cemetery and the individual, and the reference number of the picture. The abbreviation FHM indicates a small temporary marker provided by the funeral home.
