History:
Holy Family Cemetery is located about 11 miles south of White River on present Highway 83 and 1/4 of a mile east on a trail. It is fenced with barbed wire and is near the abandoned Holy Family Catholic Church.

The graves are somewhat in rows but the cemetery is overgrown with grass, weeds, and cactus. It is still in use but it is not cared for.

The cemetery was organized in 1926 on land donated by Emma Thin Elk.
