Salem Cemetery Association, Cass County, Texas

Salem Cemetery
Salem Cemetery has existed for 150 years along a country road in deep East Texas. Generations of family members have found their final resting place here. Our mission as the Salem Cemetery Association is to both honor the legacy of our heritage, as well as maintain a small piece of this earth where departed loved ones and friends are interred. The Salem Cemetery Association was orga

nized in 1989 to provide upkeep of the cemetery. In 2004, the Salem Cemetery Association became a 501(c-13) Non-Profit cemetery organization registered with the State of Texas. Current officers of Salem Cemetery Association are Susan Anthony Billings, Donna Simmons, Tonja Hawkins, Staley Cash, and Melvin Timmons. The officers of the Association meet the first Saturday of April and October at the Salem Baptist Church to conduct the business of the Association. However, work continues throughout the year to maintain the cemetery grounds. This rural cemetery receives no funds or support from any local, county or state government agency. Ongoing maintenance includes mowing & edging, trash pickup, leveling graves and gravestones, maintaining fences, driveways and walkways. The Salem Cemetery Association also holds a Flag Ceremony in May honoring all veterans who served our country in the military. You are welcome to join us for our business meetings, and your attendance would be welcomed at the Flag Ceremony to be held May 14 this year. Improvement Project: a much needed improvement to Salem Cemetery is new signage with grave location information. If you can help in funding this necessary improvement project, please send your contribution to
