Traylor Cemetery is a family cemetery on private land in rural Southeastern Titus County. Dunston Traylor, who is buried here, originally owned the land. Ida Traylor, his descendent, owned the land and set aside one acre land before the Civil War for burial of Traylor family members.
The cemetery has not been used for some time. The entire acre is not enclosed, but there is a chain link fence around the marked gravesites and the enclosed area is well maintained. Approximately seven graves seem to be marked with a concrete slab at the head and foot. The twin children of Dunston and Frances Traylor are interred in separate concrete crypts beside Dunston's grave
