The land for Walnut Grove Cemetery was dedicated by Ophelia Mae and Marshall Green Holleman in the honor of their friend Sarah Margaret Fulton who was the first to be buried here in 1938. The following is written on a hand made concrete plaque at the base of Mrs. Fulton's headstone.
"We dedicate this ground to be known as Walnut Grove Cemetery to the memory of our beloved friend, Mrs. S.M. Fulton, who is the first to be laid here in 1938. Mr. & Mrs. M.G. Holleman" (History provided by Bobby and Judy Laney Liles)

Additional land was provided by the Holleman's for the expansion of the cemetery and incorporated about 1975 as Holleman Memorial Gardens & Walnut Grove Cemeteries.
