JAMES CEMETERY - FRISCO

Cemeteries of Collin County, Texas, by Joy Gough

The Edward Smith James family came from around Lebanon, Tennessee, before the Civil War and settled in the north part of present-day Frisco. One descendant says they came from Missouri. One of their children, E. E. James had 11 children. His land was where the northwest corner of the Frisco High School building is. His brother, Galen, had land just north of the boundary of the school lands. Their farms had a blacksmith shop, a syrup mill, and a fruit orchard.

When the Frisco High School was built around 1990, the remains from the James Family Cemetery were moved to the Bethel Cemetery, which is about 1 ½ miles north. There is a write-up on the James family in A HISTORY OF FRISCO, TEXAS.
