The Mayes Addition to Oakwood Cemetery was created on lands purchased in 1963 from H. Boyd Mayes by the First Christian Church of Huntsville. On October 18, 1964 the Church congregation adopted a resolution to sell the land to the Oakwood Cemetery Association. After many years of preparation, the Mayes Addition to Oakwood Cemetery was opened for use in February 1995. In 2002 responsiblity for all of Oakwood Cemetery was transferred to the City of Huntsville and in 2003 the Texas Historical Commission designated all of Oakwood Cemetery a Historic Texas Cemetery.
