Read More	The Jackson Cemetery, near Romance, is named for Elisha Jackson, who owned the land which was set aside for the cemetery. The grounds are shaded by mulberry, oak and a huge cedar tree, set out by Harriet Walker, many years ago. At that time, the story goes, there were very few cedars in this area and they were a very cherished tree. The cemetery is located south of Romance about two miles and in the days of free range, the stock roamed the grounds and kept them badly torn up. Around 1922, Bill Byrd, after burying one of his loved ones in the cemetery, bought fence and fenced it. Until the late 1950's, on Memorial Day all day services were held there. The late Rev. D. A. Honeycutt was in charge of events for many years. There would be a sermon in both the morning and afternoon, with singing and proyers. A basket dinner was held at noon, and persons attending would march up into the cemetery with the American Flag and their baskets of Flowers to decorate the graves of friends and loved ones. In the early 1900's, a Mr. Bunch, from near Gainesville, a Civil War veteran, would dress in his Union uniform and sing, each year the same song, "Old Faded Coat of Blue." Large crowds would attend these services. Among the earliest graves in the cemetery which are marked are those of J. W. Daniel, buried in 1885, Augusts Rice, 1886 and Frank Crawford, no date given. A building was erected in the cemetery in the 1940's for funeral services. At that time there wasn't any church in the immediate area, and a place was badly needed for protection in bad weather. Funerals had been held out in the open or at a graveside. But the building was not satisfactory and its use for funerals was later dixcontinued. It is now used for storing tools for cemetery use. Arles Eslinger, formerly of the area, now of Gainesville, serves on the cemetery committee as secretary, assisted by Harve Watson, both are volunteers. There are 146 graves in the cemetery with more than one-third of the graves being marked only by large rocks, with no inscriptions upon them.
