CEMETERY RECORDS - INTRODUCTION

All of the cemeteries copied lie in the northeastern portion of Milam County 
(except Fort Griffin). Every effort has been made to copy all tombstone 
inscriptions; however, many graves are marked only with metal markers (no 
longer readable), footstones, wooden stobs, rocks, or clumps of iris.

All graves have been noted -- both those with or without tombstones. Those 
without inscriptions are included to assist those searching for gravestones 
-- which do not exist. They are noted as follows, example:

McNEILL, James Hugh, Aug. 18, 1876 - Mar. 3, 1958
(2*)
JOHNSON, W. T., 1897-1926

The figure within the parenthesis (2*) indicates that two graves without 
tombstone inscriptions lie between or near the graves of McNeill and 
Johnson. Perhaps they belong to members of these families.

It was necessary to edit most of the inscriptions, i.e., abbreviate 
dates, omit verses, etc., but no information was omitted regarding the 
names on the stones, and relationships were included when it was at 
all possible. Sometimes a stone read "Father" on the stone itself, 
sometimes on the footstone. Every effort has been made to preserve 
such notations.

Little River Cemetery, Jones Prairie, Milam County, Texas


Little River Baptist Church and its adjoining cemetery is located 
on Jones Prairie on the northeast side of Farm Road #2347, about 
3.5 miles north of its junction with U. S. #190 (5.8 miles NW of 
Maysfield and due north of Cameron, Texas). 
(Copied November, 1963.) 

"History of Milam County, Texas" published in 1956 by Mrs. Lelia 
M. Batte states that it is the oldest organized Baptist Church in 
the county. (The first Baptist church is said to have been at 
Smyrna, but no records are available.) It was organized on the 
first Sunday in July, 1849, at the home of Josiah Lester, near 
Belmena. There were 8 charter members: Elder Zachariah N. Morrell 
and Mrs. Morrell, Josiah Lester and Mrs. Lester, Elizabeth White, 
W. H. M. Lester, Amanda Dobbins and Cyrus Harlan, a Negro. A 
church was soon built near Jones Prairie, and in 1855 it held 
an outstanding revival at Block House Springs. 

Every effort has been made to copy all tombstones in the 
cemetery; however, many graves are marked with only metal markers 
(no longer readable), footstones, wooden stobs, rocks, or clumps 
of iris. It is said that the oldest grave in the cemetery lies 
unmarked under a huge cedar tree on the southeast side of the 
cemetery. A man was buried by the cedar which was then a rather 
small plant, and a wooden peg was wedged into the trunk to mark 
his grave. Many years ago the sexton of the cemetery trimmed the 
huge tree and found the peg still driven into the tree but in a 
rotten condition. 

All graves have been noted -- both those with or without 
tombstones; however, due to the size of the cemetery full 
dates were copied only for those who were born prior to 1881.
