WAS located at the end of Crow Road off Mapleton Drive by Burnet Bay in Baytown. Part of the old Wooster community (town site). All that is left of Wooster is the Wooster School House in Baytown. Town of Wooster was laid out in 1892. First burial in cemetery was in 1894 of Martin E. Wooster. In the late 1980’s nothing was left of the cemetery. Subsidence had destroyed this cemetery. Several coffin handles have been found on the shoreline and at low tide the remains of a cement crypt could be seen.

Several graves were moved to Whites Cemetery in Highlands, Texas, as well as Cedar Crest Cemetery in Baytown, Texas. ( Ray Wooster (my father) and John Henry Wooster (my brother) were the two moved to Whites Cemetery, Information submitted by Trevia Wooster Beverly)
