From Mrs. Brents Witty's, "Hamilton County, Texas
Cemetery Records:"
| |
During the War Between the States,
William B. [sic-Willam Herring not
William B.] Reed, Co., K. Tex. H.V. ARTY C.S.A., came to
Honey Creek to see his uncle, Dr. William B. Reed (July 12, 1798 -
March 1, 1863). The inscription on the tombstone of Dr.
William B. Reed reads, 'First
County Judge of Hamilton County. Erected by the citizens of
Hamilton County.' However, Dr. Reed was not the Chief Justice (county
judge) of Hamilton County until 1862-63
William Herring Reed, the soldier, became ill with smallpox and
died. No one would come near him to do the last rites.
Finally, two Negro women in the neighborhood were persuaded to bury
him close by the location of Dr. Reed. Some others were buried
there and the place became the Honey Creek Cemetery on Dr. Reed's
land."
