*Jan 18, 1848 - July 1, 1912
Some call this the Hilger Cemetery. It is located just west of 14-Mile Creek on Highway 124 between Little Red River and Sunnydale. The cemetery is south of the highway on the side of a hill and not visible from the road. Napoleon Hilger gave the land for the cemetery but the oldest marked grave is a Leggett. A tornado went through the community April 7, 1903, killing members of the Leggett family, who were buried here.
