The families
of Oliver (1812-1872) and Mary (Livingston) Jackson (1818-1890) and
George (1823-1906) and Didama (Jackson) Biggerstaff (1835-1902) moved
here from Missouri and settled on adjoining farms in 1854. The Jacksons
erected a schoolhouse on their property and this cemetery was established
on the Biggerstaff farm.
The first recorded
burial here was that of Grant Clutter in 1864. The cemetery, which contains
about 50 burials, served as the graveyard for the Jackson and Biggerstaff
families and their descendants. The last recorded burial was that of Russell
McCormack in 1935. Sesquicentennial of Texas Statehood 1845 - 1995
