DIRECTIONS: From Jasper take 190 west to the airport, turn left on Farm Road 777. Go seven
and one-half miles, Cemetery is on the right side of the road.William George Smith and his
wife Harrett (Johnson) Smith lost infant triplets
in 1858 and they were buried in this cemetery. We believe that this was when the cemetery
began. In 1860 William George Smith bought 364 acre of land from William Neyland in this
area. He was drowned in the Neches River in 1867 and was buried here.Over the years it
became known as the Old Smith Cemetery and was used by the people that lived in the
community as a final resting place for their loved ones.We did not find any records of a
deed for this land until 1968 when W. T. Minyard sold the land that he owned in Wyatt
Hanks League. It was at this time that a block of land 100 feet by 100 feet under fence
being known as the Old Smith Cemetery was set aside.
