Abraham Carver Cemetery. Twenty-one graves have been located in the
Abraham Carver Cemetery, which covers one half acre of land and contains
six generations of the Carver family members. The earliest marked grave
is that of Abraham Carver (1806-1889), who came to Texas in 1844 with
his brothers Solomon and Daniel. This family cemetery is located on a
small portion of his original 320-acre land grant. Carver’s second wife
Elizabeth (d. 1885), and two of their children are also interred here. 
The last burial, that of Chris Carver (b. 1866), took place in 1946.
