From marker:

Settlers began arriving in this area in increased numbers after the Civil War with the opening of Rail lines and the cessation on Indian conflicts. Many of the pioneers are interred here. The first burial, in the late 1870's ere for Kentucky native G.W. Simmons and for an infant of W.B. and Sarah Jane (Herndon) Dooley. Land for the cemetery was later deeded by Simmons sister Margaret and her husband G.W. Burnett. The early Briar Creek school was located on adjacent land by 1880's, but only the cemetery remains as a reminder of the area's Earliest Settlers.

Texas Sesquicentennial 1836-1986

Hint - Searching for Records
Many of our cemetery records are in the order that they are found in the cemetery. They were copied down as some one went up and down the rows. We keep them in this order because many times families are buried together even though they had different last names. Examples: Mother-in-laws, married children, married sisters, etc. Of course this makes your names hard to find. So, let your browser do the searching for you. After the file has loaded. Under "EDIT" use "FIND" (or "FIND in page..") and type in your surname. After you find the 1st reference to your name use "FIND AGAIN" to find the next reference. Happy Hunting!!
