[Also known as Hubbard Cemetery]

This cemetery was located on land once owned by Thomas Cook. The old roadway that once ran past the cemetery was known as the Cook road, many years ago.

Later the land was owned by the Hubbard Family. Two Hubbard children were supposed to have died with a fever and buried there. Also an older Hubbard lady. A lady that lives in the area remembers her grandmother telling her that a Mrs Hubbard was buried in that cemetery. She had visited the Hubbard homeplace many times. At that time it was the homeplace for the Leander Hubbard family. It also had been the land his father, Isham Hubbard had owned.

In the last 20 years it has been destroyed by 4-wheelers who obviously have no respect for the dead. So many cemeteries on the Brushy Mountains are lost forever. The mountains lie full of our ancesters remains with nothing to show where they rest.
