In 1896 the Smith and Chapman families donated 
4 acres here for a cemetery and church lot. A sanctuary for all 
faiths was built on the site the same year to serve the scattered 
ranches along the divide between the watersheds of the Colorado 
and North Concho Rivers. First to be buried here was Mrs. H.A. 
(Callie) Chapman (1870-97). The cemetery contains about 100 graves,
 including those of the earliest settlers of this area of Coke County and 
veterans of World Wars I and II and Korea. This cemetery is still used 
by descendants of many pioneers. (1973)
