Tarver-Gen Records
An
historical marker reads: "In 1859 Ashbel Smith
donated the ten acres for the cemetery. Smith, a medical doctor born in
Hartford, Connecticut, came to Texas in 1837 and was an outstanding state
leader. A log cabin, built on the northwest corner of the tract, served as a
community school and church. The oldest grave marker is that of Lucy M. Turner
(1824 - 1864). While crossing Camp Creek in 1869, Ann Marjorie McQuistion (Mrs.
Edward) McMillan was killed when a panther attacked her buggy horse. She was
buried here along with many children who died of malaria and typhoid. A water grist mill at the Mill Creek Road and Camp Creek Road crossing was operated by William Presley "Press" Merryman, who is buried in Camp Creek Cemetery and was a Civil War veteran, Company D, 20th Texas Infantry, CSA.
