Bagwell Cemetery is an old abandoned Afro-American Cemetery having its first recorded burial on 23 Mar 1895 with the last burial taking place on 28 Nov 1963. Since this date there have been no burials and the only access to the cemetery is on foot. We have not been able to find a church associated with this burial ground. This cemetery is located in the northwest quadrant of Red River County, Texas. From FM 2168 in Bagwell, take CR 2110 for 1.1 miles to CR 2111. Take CR 2111 north for 1.5 miles and turn into drive to James Miller residence, another .5 miles. The cemetery is on this property and about 3/4 mile to the southeast. This is definitely a woods type cemetery and there is evidence of many other burials there, including at least the remnants of 5 other funeral home markers with no information. The oldest marked burial is that of Paul Needham Prewett, Jr. who died on 23 Mar 1895. On a warm fall day, 22 Nov 2003, Lawrence and Sue Dale visited the site and recorded the burials there. As of 31 Dec 2004 this cemetery had 33 documented burials.
