McLennan Co. TX - Abbott Cemetery Submitted by: Diane Wison, McLennan CO. TX county coordinator Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ------------------------------------------------ ABBOTT CEMETERY Hill County, Texas ~ near McLennan County line The town of Abbott, Texas is named after Jo Abbott (1840-1908) -- also known as Joseph Abbott of Hillsboro. Born near Decatur, Morgan County, Ala., January 15, 1840. Democrat. Served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War; lawyer; member of Texas state house of representatives, 1870-71; district judge, 1879-84; U.S. Representative from Texas 6th District, 1887-97. Died in Hillsboro, Hill County, Tex., February 11, 1908. He is interred at Old Cemetery in Hillsboro. Just north of West, (McLennan Co.) Texas it is the birthtown of Country Music's Willie Nelson. This cemetery is neglected and in need of care. It has many old, beautiful stones. The cemetery is just north of City Hall, the post office and town store, yet no one seemed to know much about it. It is on the corner of the street and is not fenced. Interestingly, doing this survey, we noticed many references to "wife of" or "daughter (or son) of" without finding many spouses or apparent relatives in the same cemetery. We ended up using the Inventory done years ago by Eugene and Odette Botton, and Milford and Maynette Willis as our main reference. We did take several pictures and can send by request.
