Calhoun County's cemeteries serve as a key to our history and are as
diverse as its heritage. There are 45 cemeteries for Calhoun County listed
in the Texas Historical Commission Atlas.
The Calhoun County Cemetery Committee follows the Texas Historical Commission
History Program recommendations. Cemeteries are recorded, investigated,
and protected.
Ranger and Clark Cemeteries are listed as RIP Cemeteries. RIP is the
THC cemetery survey initiative: Record - Investigate - Protect. The program
helps local volunteer groups take charge of neglected historic cemeteries
across Texas by providing education, consultation, andassistance. There
are eight cemeteries which have received the Historic Texas Cemetery Designation:
- o Ranger
- o Clark
- o Hatch
- o Indianola
- o Cemetery on the Ridge
- o Zimmerman
- o Seadrift
- o Port O'Connor
Individual tombstones may be located on the website Find
A Grave. (Courtesy of commission member Clif Baccus.)
