Kirkland, Texas

Kirkland is an unincorporated community in southeastern Childress County, Texas, United States.

[6] Located approximately one-half mile from the current Kirkland town site, the Kirkland cemetery is two long wooded savannahs of marble headstones along a dirt road, containing the last earthly remains of citizens back to 1908.

The land the cemetery sits on was donated by James William Sharp sometime before March 1908.

James W Sharp, his first wife Alberta, as well as two children, are of the 725 well-marked gravestones that stand on this site.
