Marker Text: ​ In 1859 Ashbel Smith (1805-1886) donated the ten acres for the cemetery. Smith, a medical doctor born in Hartford, Connecticut, came to Texas in 1837 and was an outstanding state leader. A log cabin, built on the northwest corner of the tract, served as a community school and church. The oldest grave marker is that of Lucy M. Turner (1824 - 1864). While crossing Camp Creek in 1869, Ann Marjorie McQuistion (Mrs. Edward) McMillan was killed when a panther attacked her buggy horse. She was buried here along with many children who died of malaria and typhoid. (1978)
