The land was donated by the Daugherty family, and four members of this family are buried within an area enclosed by four brick walls. They are Eleanor Daugherty, James Madison Daugherty, Rebecca Daugherty, and Robert L. Daugherty. Their names and dates are hand-carved into mortar on top of the west wall, but the carving is now almost illegible.   There are six identical cement crosses evenly spaced in a row. According to Curtis Burch, these are markers Denton County placed on the graves of unclaimed bodies.
