John Washington and Martha {Crawford} Smith came to Floyd County, Texas in 1891 a few graves were in the old Greymule Cemetery but that was several miles to the NW and across the bank of the Quitaque River. The first one buried there was Johnny Garland Smith. He was bitten by a rattlesnake on the day before his fifth birthday and died that evening and was buried on his birthday. The cemetery lays on a slow rise of the pasture southwest of the old house. Before his death John Smith deeded 2 acres to Floyd County so there would be a free burial ground for members of the family and any friend or stranger in the area who needed a burial plot. Neomia Maud Smith {Nevil} later set up a trust fund to take care of the upkeep of the cemetery. In 1963 Orville and Ruth Lee fenced in about 1 acre of the area with metal posts and cable rope. Beginning on the west from N to S. Location: NorthWest of Flomot on the Smith farm.
