Freestone County, Texas Cemeteries St. Elmo Cemetery / New Hope Baptist Church Cemetery Winkler, Freestone County, Texas =============================================================================== Submitted by Wanda Smith. Later modifications by Eric Wood. Status: Active Historical Marker: New Hope Baptist Church and St. Elmo Cemetery - This locality was settled about 1849 by pioneers from Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. Cotton and corn plantations thrived. A school was opened in the 1850s, but closed during the Civil War (1861-65). A site on the centrally-situated Manning land grant became a public burial ground. Earliest documented grave is that of J. W. Darden, who died in 1869. The Little Hope Baptist Church was organized in the community in Aug. 1872, by a Freestone County missionary, the Rev. J. M. Gambrell, who served as the first pastor, with R. B. Anderson as church clerk. In 1875 a schoolhouse was built near the burial ground on the Manning grant. The school was called "St. Elmo", probably for a popular 19th century novel. The Baptist held services in the schoolhouse until 1886; then they adopted "New Hope" as the church name, bought a 6-acre tract that included the cemetery and school grounds, and built a church. Present sanctuary, which replaced that original building, was remodeled in 1954. St. Elmo Cemetery Association administers the affairs of the cemetery, which now (1974) contains about 850 graves. Background: St. Elmo community grew to enough size to have a post office (5 Aug 1875 to 15 Nov 1906). Became a voting place in 1878 and has continued for many years afterwards.
