Located next to the Station Creek Methodist Episcopal Church, south, this cemetery was established in 1856 with Robert F. Morris (1828-1856) as the first burial. His mother, Mary F. Morris (1800-1876), is buried next to him. Of the forty identified headstones, most date before 1890. Other noted burials include Dr. E.R. Ashby (1790-1877), numerous confederate soldiers and brothers W.R. And J.M. Green, both hanged by a vigilante mob as accused horse thieves. The last known burial, in 1908, was that of S.A.C.J. Jones (1852-1908). The church congregation relocated to McGregor in the 1880s, leaving the cemetery to the community. The cemetery endures as a reminder of settlers in early Coryell County history. |
