Directions: Start at the intersection of SH-27 and Sunset Cemetery Road. Go .35 miles on Sunset Cemetery Road to cemetery.

Historical Marker: The earliest marked graves in this cemetery are those of James and Susan Dowdy's four children. They were killed by Indians in 1878, soon after the family migrated from Goliad. However, local tradition says the first interment in that of M. B. Shults. Plain stones mark burial sites of four Byas children who died in the 1880s typhoid epidemic. Early pioneer H. L. Nelson (1835-1922), who established Mountain Home Post Office, is buried here. Land for this 4-acre cemetery has been acquired from the A. E. Oehler heirs, M. D. Henderson, and Sunset School when it closed in 1953.
