TX complied by Norman Stewart Martindale and Bernice Marshall Byerly Martindale Submitted wwith permission by John Johnson joju@datarecall.net SMITH CEMETERY DIRECTIONS: From Jasper take 190 west to the airport, turn left on Farm Road 777. Go seven and one-half miles, Cemetery is on the right side of the road. William George Smith and his wife Harrett (Johnson) Smith lost infant triplets in 1858 and they were buried in this cemetery. We believe that this was when the cemetery began. In 1860 William George Smith bought 364 acre of land from William Neyland in this area. He was drowned in the Neches River in 1867 and was buried here.Over the years it became known as the Old Smith Cemetery and was used by the people that lived in the community as a final resting place for their loved ones. We did not find any records of a deed for this land until 1968 when W. T. Minyard sold the land that he owned in Wyatt Hanks League. It was at this time that a block of land 100 feet by 100 feet under fence being known as the Old Smith Cemetery was set aside. ARRINGTON Wm. P.
