Lissie Cemetery
Wharton County,
Cemeteries of Texas

I. Bishop
A short history of the Lissie Cemetery
was compiled by Alice Anderson Schmidt and Nancy Anderson. The last date used
was 1990 so it is believed that the information was compiled that year or 1991.
The same people and information was compiled for the Lissie Site # 1 Cemetery,
the Harrington Cemetery and the Boot Hill Cemetery, all in the Lissie area. The
history, as written is as follows:
It is speculated that when the Texas Land and Immigration agent, W.G. Kingsbury with the address of 26 Finsbury pavement, Moorgate St. Station, London E C - England, brought the English colonists over and the first school house was located adjacent to the cemetery property that the cemetery property was set aside for that use all at the same time.
The new addition on the right side of
the entrance was added to the original tract in 1920. Mr. W.J. Nugent was
caretaker and planted the crepe myrtle trees still in existence today. After his
death Hammie Raasch was caretaker. In 1990 Mr. Fred Isenhower of Lissie has been
overseeing the property. Information was gathered from Ed Causey, Ruth McCormick
Jerrells, Ruth Clipson Anderson, Haymie Raasch and Fred Isenhower and compiled
by Alice Anderson Schmidt and Nancy Anderson.
