Copied by James and Dora Wilkins, August 17,1963. This cemetery is in Overton, Texas, in northwestern Rusk County. Named for an early pioneer family, the town was laid out in 1873, when the railroad was built. Many citizens of Rocky Mount and Bellview, by-passed by the railroad, augmented the population of the new community.
