This cemetery is located in Section 10, Range 7 West, Township 8 North. It was originally listed as Castleberry Cemetery October
31, 1965, by Cloie and Leister Presley of the White County Historical Society and published in White County Heritage, the Society’s
annual history, in 1971.
Historical Society member Leroy Blair updated the list in 2000, finding 84 graves that were not on the Presley list. Blair noted this
cemetery now has a sign "Holly Springs Cemetery" above the gate. Leister Presley told former Historical Society president Eddie
Best in June 2002 that "The cemetery was called Castleberry when we listed it in 1965; we were familiar with it; Cloie has a
relative buried here." There are many Castleberrys here, including a burial as early as 1905. To reach the Cemetery according to
the Presley report, "Leave Highway 16 at Snowden’s Store at Albion and travel east about 2 ½ miles, turn south for about ¾ mile
then east again about ½ mile."
