Inscription. Caddo Indians initially inhabited the region around Camp Shed Cemetery, near the North Sulphur River. In 1836, Euro-Americans began colonizing the region. Many early settlers used the area as a campground in their migration west. Even before its official dedication, Camp Shed Cemetery served the communities of Enloe and Mount Joy. In 1880, Johnnie Kerbow became the first recorded burial. The cemetery was officially deeded in 1886, and referred to as the Campstead Grave Yard. This deed also referred to a “camp shed … which once stood” on the property. Veterans from the Civil War, World War I and World War II are interred here. Camp Shed Cemetery remains a record of change in rural east Texas.
