Heflin Cemetery derived its name from the family who donated the acreage for this Cemetery. Mr. William Ward and Pency (Williams) Heflin, in 1875. Their graves are located in the north west corner. In 1875, when this Cemetery land was donated, this was a well traveled route for families moving westward. Many of these families now reside in Pleasant Valley and May Texas.

updated February 2002, by Jim and Georgia Rodgers.  This deed is recorded in the Brown County Clerks Office. Volume 259, page 178. Abstract 762.
