The cemetery at Logan, Texas behind the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church is SMITH Cemetery. Mt. Pleasant Church has moved, the building is still there but they no longer have services there.
This cemetery is  located on land that was once owned by Lorenzo Harris Adams. (Lorenzo donated the land for the church and the old school, he also donated the land for Adams Cemetery).  Lorenzo and his second wife Naomi Vestie Lawrence' daughter Julie Adams Smith and her son Cecil were the first people buried in the cemetery in 1925, thus the name SMITH.
For many years it was a private cemetery for the Adam's family and their heirs.

Location: FM 3359 (2800 marker) & Cr 455 (500 marker) behind Mt Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church.- Graves are free of grass and is one of the few that still have the graves mounded. Beautiful, peaceful, shady and well kept.
