Brent Cemetery
Houston County, Texas, USA
The cemetery started when a young baby son died during a cold winter, December 1890. He was placed in the garden and plans were made to move him to a Crockett Cemetery to join other family members. These plans were changed when a small sister died and was buried there.
If you walk out into the National Forest, you can see where the home was, remains of the fireplace and crepe myrtles remain.
With the passing of years, more family members were buried there and a neighbor's infant. Also, a mail carrier, while on his route, died of a sickness at the Brent homestead. The weather was too bad to take him to Crockett, so the family buried him also.
It is rumored that several slaves were buried there, but no markers were found.
