Derden Cemetery

There is a plaque at the Derden Cemetery with an seal that says: \"Historic Texas Cemetery -Texas Historical Commission\". The Plaque states: \"This burial ground was already in use well before the local settlement of Brushy Knob took the name of Derden around 1881. The earliest marked grave is that of Young Elizabeth Morely (1851-1858). But older unmarked graves likely exist. Known to have arrived here in the mid 1850\'s were members of the Ince family including George Washington Ince (1830-1906) and wife Sarah Ann Paralee Calvert Ince (1833-1912), who helped develop the area. Many of their descendants, as well as those of other pioneer families such as the Blackshears, Kiberlins, Russells, Stocktons, and Whites, are laid to rest here.
