The Garden of Memories Cemetery is adjacent to the 440 Calvary Baptist  Church.  
It is 6.7 miles South of the Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home on  Texas Highway 195, 
formerly FM 440.  

The 440 Calvary Baptist Church members bought 3 acres of land for the  cemetery 
which was acted on by the Church body.  Mrs. Lorene Breeden  Lindsey named the 
cemetery, Garden of Memories.  Mrs. Margaret Pyles  was the first individual 
buried in this cemetery.  Her title of "Sister"  is what the ladies of the 
Church called her.  Informant was Mrs. Lorene Lindsey to Polly Peaks Elmore on 
9 May 1989.  This information was given over the telephone and is not generally 
known to the public.
