KeeterGate.jpg (108261 bytes)    Keeter Cemetery is located on CR 4681 just south of Friendship Cemetery. CR 4681 goes north off FmRd 2048 that runs south of Cottondale and Boyd.

    There's an Historical Marker (text below) at the gate and the following contact numbers are also posted: Don Jackson 433-2908, Joan Jackson 433-2369, and Edith Cleveland 969-2593.

    At the time of our survey in April 2000 there were only 70 headstones. We found listings for 4 more headstones at the Wise County Heritage museum, making a total of 74. We didn't divide it into sections because of it's square shape and small size.

 

Historical Marker - Keeter Cemetery
For over 100 years beginning in 1882 this cemetery has been the sole graveyard serving the community of Keeter. The oldest recorded gravesite in the cemetery is that of Ida Mae Ryan (1881 – 1882). Albert Lafayette Keeter, for whom the community of Keeter was named, donated this property for use as a cemetery in 1891. While Keeter’s daughter, Leonah, is thought to be buried here, he left this area and is believed to be buried in Hardeman County. At least three veterans of the American Civil War and two veterans of World War II are buried here.
