Place:Ward Cemetery, Bagwell, Red River, Texas, United States

Located just off FM 2573, midway between Bagwell and Detroit, on land originally owned by Frank Coffman. The earliest burial is that of Charles Ward, young son of Leonard & Malvina Ward, who died in Aug 1855. There are now only fifteen marked graves, though there are also known to be seven slave burials, probably in a collective grave. No new burials have taken place for forty years and the grounds, in a wooded area, are not well kept up.
