About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Directions: From the Athens courthouse square, take HWY 31 East to the traffic light at Wofford Street. Turn left on North Wofford and go about a half mile across the railroad tracks to the official Texas Historical Marker for the Wood Cemetery on the right side of the road. Wofford becomes Cream Level Road north of the RR tracks. Follow the dirt road behind the marker for about 200 ft. to the cemetery. It is on private property but permission to enter is not necessary and there are no fences to cross. The cemetery is currently maintained by a descendant of Dr. Wood. The Wood Cemetery has not been active for many years and was "lost" for years until re-discovered about 1997. The last known burial there occurred over 100 years ago.

History: Dr. Thomas Boucher Wood came from Columbus, MS to Texas. Shortly after 1850, he moved to Athens and was Athens' first physician. Dr. Wood settled his family northeast of downtown, where the pioneer Wood Cemetery is now located and where Wood Street runs through the original family farm.
