| Nicholson-Balthrop Cemetery Hunt County, Texas |
| Nicholson Cemetery is also referred to as Balthrop Cemetery. It is located in Hunt County Texas east of Celeste on County Road 1019 about a mile north of FM 1566. There is a road sign at the intersection of FM 1566 and CR 1019 pointing to the cemetery. There are several families represented here, with stones going back to 1852. Besides the Perrin headstones are Balthrop, Warren, Jones, Tatom, Mitchell, Atterbery, and others. This page has pictures of Perrin family headstones only. |
| May Perrin Jones' Gravesite May is the daughter of Alfred and Fannie Perrin who are bured at Nicholson. We have 2 sources that state they saw a gravemarker for May Jones at Nicholson in the past. Her grave is listed by these sources as "Mrs. May Jones 1883 - 1944", but neither indicates where her grave is located in relation to other graves at the cemetery. Today there is no marker for May so her grave location is unknown. On her death certificate, Pat Wilson is listed as the funeral director. His records may have been destroyed after his death. We are still looking for them so we can know the location of May's grave. In the picture below, we marked the location of Fannie and Alfred's graves and where we think May is buried. It also shows the grave of J.H. Jones and where we think his wife Mary is buried. (Mary's death certificate states that she is buried at Nicholson.) They were the parents of May's husband Virgil. He is buried in California. We took this picture before we had Alfred and Fannie's stone uprighted in December 2006. |
| Alfred and Fannie Perrin share a gravestone. It stands near the stone of their sons Hope and Honor. Both can be seen in the picture below. |
| Nannie Braly married Galen Perrin who is a cousin of Alfred Perrin. After Galen died in 1878, Nannie married F. G. Tatom. She died in 1885 and is buried at Nicholson next to her daughter Cassie Tatom. |
