Sketch of school/church of Red Oak by Jack W. James
Located in Lavaca near the NE corner of the crossroads of Utah Ranch Road and Hwy 253.
Red Oak Cemetery is where all African-Americans were buried in the early days of the county and area's history.
A one-room school house and church once stood beside this cemetery in the grove of tall blackjack oak trees.
There are approximately 25 tombstones visible but more likely beneath the oak leaves that are scattered on the property.
Some listings were added from an earlier survey of this cemetery which is at the bottom of this page provided by
Jack James.
