Head Light Cemetery --- This cemetery is located in the northwest quadrant of Red River County, Texas and was used for a short time by the local Afro-American population. From the intersection of Hwy 82 and FM 410 in Detroit, take FM 410 north through Woodland proceeding on north to Kiomatia, a distance of 18.9 miles. Take CR 2356 easterly for 1.4 miles and you are now at the former site of the Head Light Cemetery, Community, Church and School where the cemetery was located. An old church building is still on the site. The cemetery was across the road from this old church building on land now known as the Stan Graff Ranch. Time and vandalism has removed all traces of the cemetery but it has been partially reconstructed using Texas Death Records. The first known burial is that of Bernece Smith Love who died on 2 Jan 1939. As of 9 Feb 2015 this cemetery has only 2 documented burials. All information for this cemetery location/notes is from the books ‘Burial, Cemetery and Death Records for Red River County, Texas' by Lawrence and Sue Dale, Copyright © 2015.
