Plans to updating this information once a year.
One mile south of Clarendon on Hiway 70 on east side of road.
Clarendon is the oldest existing town in the Texas Panhandle.
The earliest death recorded in this cemetery is 1885.
Clarendon was moved from 5 miles north of its present location in 1889.
Some of the graves and a memorial were moved at this time. There are
eleven headstones that state “Saints Roost Colonist 1878”.
The memorial states: 1878 - 1886
In this first cemetery of Donley County, sixteen rods west, lie the first
dead of old Clarendon. Here white civilization sank its roots in sadness
and from the graves in this sacred acre, strong pioneer spirits turned to
face the future with greater love for the land and a firmer determination
to build for a tomorrow, which we know today. To those of the old Clarendon
Colony who first found rest on the bold promotory and to their survivors,
this stone of imperisable Texas granite is loyally and lovingly dedicated.
