(KNUE-FM) We have done some research to find 10 of the oldest cemeteries in Tyler , Texas, as well as in Rusk and Cherokee Counties, Palestine, and Henderson, Texas. East Texas has a rich history filled with notable people, places, and events. In fact, the alleged oldest city in the state is Nacogdoches, Texas.

For history buffs like me, all of these people and events are potentially fascinating. Perhaps that's because they all have a story. Humans are hardwired to love stories -- we've been telling each other stories of times gone by since the beginning. It's knit into our souls, this love of story. And although some people find old cemeteries spooky-tale fodder, which of course they can be, I find them beautiful, heart-provoking, and yes, sometimes heart-BREAKING, too.
