Medlin Cemetery – Denton County – United States

Medlin Cemetery is located at 1130 Trophy Club Drive in Trophy Club, Denton County, Texas. Its history is tied to Charles and Matilda Medlin, who arrived from Missouri in 1847 with about 20 other families and helped establish an early settlement in the area. The cemetery opened in April 1850 after the death of their 21-year-old daughter, Mittie Ann Medlin, who had expressed a wish to be buried on the hill. ([trophyclub.org](https://www.trophyclub.org/430/Trophy-Club-History?utm_source=openai)) The grounds contain the graves of members of the Medlin family, early settlers, neighbors, and Civil War veteran William Owen Medlin. In 1900, James W. Medlin expanded the cemetery to more than ten acres and began selling lots to support its maintenance. A Texas Historical Commission marker was erected in 1977, recognizing the cemetery’s connection to Denton County settlement history.
