The oldest marked burial is that of Robert Baker who died 28 Dec 1859. This cemetery was surveyed by Lawrence and Sue Dale on 20 and 21 March 1997., On a day drizzling rain on 16 Sep 2001, there was a brief ceremony to dedicate the new marker placed by the Texas Historical Commission. We also did a re-walk of the cemetery on 18 Feb 2004 adding new burials and noting marker changes. As of 31 Dec 2004 this cemetery had 539 documented burials. We are attempting to keep this cemetery updated and as of 25 Nov 2010 there are 542 documented burials there.
