This cemetery has
been recorded in books mistakenly as the 'Hollingsworth cemetery'.
But it was actually called the Cook Springs Cemetery.
There was a church and a school was on the property.
The Hollingsworth family did not
arrive there till after it was long in use. Originally it had many wooden
markers. Most were marked with wooden markers.
It is located near the intersection of Hwy 91 and
691, about one block west on the north side of the road. Between Sherman
and Denison on the Grayson co. Airport Rd. (691) Located on the grounds
of a commercial nursery.
