Marker Text: ​ Jonah Cemetery was established in 1902. When community leaders J. M. Barrington, W.S. McMankins, C. Brady, A.J. McDonald, and R.H. Northcutt purchased two acres near the San Gabriel River to be used as a cemetery. Burials were free to area residents. The earliest marked graves of interest are those of Confederate veterans Isiah S. Hicks and M.G. Walton. Twin sisters Sarah E. (Yoes) Barrington are interred here near many of their 22 children. One of the last physical remnants of a once-thriving rural community, the Jonah Cemetery continues to serves the area. (1998)
