There are two cemeteries:

Some updates posted - Apr 2007. Lat 29°53.540N Long 99°06.710W

For a listing of burials in the Camp Verde Cemetery go to: http://kerrco.vibobgen.com/camcem.htm

CAMP VERDE FORT CEMETERY - Established before 1874; Located about a mile past the Camp Verde Community Cemetery; In 1874, J. A. Bonnell purchased the 640 acres which included the grounds of the historic "camel fort", after the Confederate Army abandoned it as a military outpost; Mr. & Mrs. Bonnell are buried there. Lat 29°53.425N Long 99°07.221W

The only known graves on the Camp Verde property are those of Capt. J. A. Bonnell and his wife. These are enclosed in an iron fence with rocks mounded up on them.
