Blue
Creek Cemetery
(Also
known as the -Independence Springs Cemetery
&
the ida Cemetery)
Much
of this cemetery reconstructed with
death
records, tombstones, newspapers and other records
and
personal knowledge. Please email
me to add information.
I
would love to add photographs of the people in this cemetery.
Blue
Creek was the location of a Freedmen's Town after the War Between the States.
Independence Springs was an
'everlasting spring' used much further in time back by wagon trains and
travelers.
The
'Colored' school was located at the spring which today is on Independence
Road south of Hwy 82 East of Sherman. It is on a dead end road 'L' shaped
on the south side of the Hwy 82, ends at the location of the Independence
School house and spring.
The Blue Creek Settlement is often marked 'Boddie' on maps . Independence
Springs CME church is located at 817 Boddie Rd, Sherman, TX . The cemetery
is nearby and reported to be in bad shape.
MAP
Choctaw Creek is to the East and South of that area is the main creek that
fed that part of Grayson county and often flooded, this was a big fishing
creek.
This cemetery has many more
unknown burials, the markers are long gone for all the people buried here
from the 1860's ( and probably before that time) until death cert. started
to be gathered. In Grayson County, death certs were not used much until
the 1920's, there are a few earlier ones but not many.
It has been a joy to compile
this data,
