About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Texas Cemetery is also known as the Old Mount Zion Webster Baptist Church Cemetery. It served the African-American community south of Kimbrough, Georgia as far back to at least 1900.

The association of the name, "Texas," with this cemetery is unknown. However, it might be speculated that the first person buried there may have been somewhat of a stranger who was somehow associated with Texas. This follows the superstition that misfortune will befall a family who starts a new cemetery by first burying anyone other than a stranger.

As of June 2017, the cemetery is badly in need of maintenance. Most of the graves are overgrown with weeds and brush. Some of those marked with headstones and etched slabs are in need of re-etching or repainting.
