of Texas
Sorry, cemetery inscriptions not available to us at this time.
Location: from
Stephenville, take FM 8 northwest about 3.5 miles
Historical Marker: The nearby burial ground is named for William Ramsey,
who in 1886 formally deeded the land around several early graves
as a cemetery. The oldest legible tombstone, dated 1862, bears
the name of Rebecca Henning. Many burial sites are marked only
with native stones. Some of Erath County's first pioneers and
several war veterans are buried in Ramsey Cemetery. Some of the
pioneers and their descendants who are interred there are members
of the Patton, Robertson, Lancaster, Tudor, Hampton, Carr, Mitchell,
and Wideman families. Texas Sesquicentennial 1836-1986.
