Lamb County, Cemeteries of Texas
Submitted by Maddy Hall The Olton Cemetery has been in operation
since 1912 when the first stone was erecte , There is no formal
entrance, simply a parcel of land enclosed by a chain link fence. The land
which the cemetery was erected was donated by H.R. Miller Sr. and his
family in 1908. Legal issues prevented it's use until a Warranty Deed was
given in Sept of 1911. The lot is 4 acres located at Section 16, Block S-4
of Olton, TX. In 1959 an additional 2.54 acres were aquired and in 1980
another 3.4 acres was purchased thus completing the south annex of the
cemetery. Both areas are fenced in and landscaped thanks to the generous
memorial donations and the Olton Garden Club There is a Record Book of Burials which
is kept at Foskey Funeral Home in Olton. Apparently, there are many who
were buried in the cemetery for which no record was entered, and others
still for whom no marker was ever erected , There is also a section
which is considered a 'Potter's Field'.
