Interment Places of African-American Persons
Kaufman County Texas
The following are
all known marked burial sites that contain the
remains of
African-American
persons buried in Kaufman County Texas.
The words *FORMER
SLAVE on any of the Kaufman County cemetery
records
denote persons
proven to have lived a portion of their lives in
bondage.
We have so noted
them as to pay homage to those individuals and
as
a reminder to all
who see these pages that they will never be
forgotten.
**NOTE: These burials all have tombstones or
some type of inscribed marker – those graves of
persons in
Unmarked Graves
are in another section.

aka Oakhurst Cemetery
Forney , Texas
Located on FM 688, just east of downtown Forney,
