Also known as the Holly Fork Cemetery, Ferrell Cemetery is located near the rural community of Holly Fork, near the Neches River. As early as the 1820s, area settlers established farms and transported goods on the Neches. Burials occurred here before the earliest tombstone in 1866, long before the one acre of land for the cemetery was deeded to R.G. Rawls, trustee for Ferrell Cemetery, in 1914. The grounds are the final resting place of many of Holly Fork’s pioneer families including Rawls, Conner, Cowart, Hopson, Lewis, Grimes, Bohler, Cryer and Wigley. Confederate soldier brothers John W. Rawls and Richard G. Rawls as well as veterans of other conflicts are buried here.
