Add PhotosThe Godfrey Dove family left Mississippi in the mid-1870s on their way to Texas. They came through Arkansas and when they reached Columbus, they were informed that the Red River was at flood stage. While waiting for Red River to recede to be safe to cross, their son Hugh met, fell in love and married Mary Elizabeth Reeder.
The Dove's only daughter, Mary Elizabeth, met, fell in love and married Samuel Franklin McJunkins. The Dove family then bought land and settled west of Columbus. Several years later, after the death of his wife, Hugh Dove and children moved to Texas.
Only two gravestones can be found at the Dove Cemetery. Those gravestones obviously belong to a black people which were buried much later than the Dove's that are known to be buried there.
