This cemetery was created for use by the local Afro-American population. It is located in the northwest quadrant of Red River County, Texas. From Manchester proceed north-easterly for about two miles on FM 195 to the intersection with CR 2353. Take CR 2353 northerly on this sandy road and go about three miles north to the intersection with CR 2382. The cemetery is behind the Siloam Baptist church on the right. A deed dated 24 Mar 1911 and filed for record on 29 Jun 1911 in Book CH Vol 71 Page 628 conveyed 7.2 acres of A. S. Johnston survey from J. H. Johnston to Siloam Baptist Church. Another deed dated 15 Aug 1925 and filed for record on 15 Aug 1925 in Book CH Vol 114 Page 336 conveyed 2 acres of the A. S. Johnston survey from Siloam Baptist Church to Siloam School. A third deed dated 24 May 1965 and filed for record on 27 May 1965 in Book CH Vol 240 Page 614 conveyed 2 acres of the A. S. Johnston survey from RRCo TX School Board to Siloam Baptist Church. The oldest marked grave is that of Susan Woods who died on 4 Jan 1934. This cemetery was surveyed by Lawrence and Sue Dale on 23 Jan 2000. We visited the site again on 6 Dec 2003 and took the GPS readings. We also did a re-walk of the cemetery adding new burials and noting marker changes. As of 31 Dec 2004 this cemetery had 158 documented burials. We were on the site on 28 Jan 2013 and took photographs of all markers. With the new burials the cemetery now contains 175 burials.
