Nov 27, 1970 TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION SMITH CEMETERY "James Gibson Smith Jr., a native of Tennessee, married Sarah A. James, a native of Arkansas, soon after settling this part of Burnet County in 1850. Together they raised eight children and set aside this site as the family cemetery. Their granddaughter, Anita Fay Smith, who died of diptheria in 1901, was the first person to be buried here. A neighbor, Charles McLean (d. 1901) was the second person buried here followed by James G. Smith (d. 1902). A cemetery association formed by Smith descendents in 1981 maintains this site which includes veterens of the Civil War and World War II.
