Hoolia-Beulah
Cemetery
Falls County, Texas
On the 26th of May, 1883, G. W. & R. E. Hay deeded a parcel of land, immediately adjacent to land occupied by the rural schoolhouse known as Beulah School, to representatives of the Beulah Primitive Baptist Church. This land would become the future site of the Beulah Primitive Baptist Church. A portion of the deeded land was to be set aside as a cemetery. This cemetery later became known as the Beulah cemetery. When a sign for the cemetery was installed just off FM1239, it listed the cemetery as Beulah Cemetery. Because of the potential for confusion with the other Beulah cemetery located in Falls County, it was decided that this cemetery would be referred to online as the Hoolia-Beulah cemetery, to uniquely identify it as the cemetery located near Hoolia Creek in Falls County.

Hoolia-Beulah Cemetery Needing Some TLC
This picture was taken February 2007 and it shows that Hoolia-Beulah Cemetery is in very bad need of some TLC.
I have been told many of the tombstones here are in such bad shape, they can no longer be read.
On Tuesday, April 17, 2007, William “Bill” Tye Jr. and his son, Kevin went to mow and start cleaning up Hoolia-Beulah.
When they got there, Harvey Scott and brother R. W. Scott, and grandchildren of Haley and Joanice Scott
had already fixed the entrance gate and did a lot of mowing and cleaning up of some graves.
Bill and Kevin started in on cleaning the fence lines and uncovering hidden graves until the rain ran them off.
He is still planning on going back and doing more if you would like to help.
Here is work in progress!

Many thanks to Bill Tye for putting up a mailbox just inside the gate of Hoolia-Beulah Cemetery.
Inside you will find a List of Burials and their Location.
Also there is a Guest Book for you to sign, give your contact info, and let us know what family you have here.
When you are finished with the book, please put it back and shut the door good so that others can use it too.
