Tomerlin Cemetery
Devine Medina County Texas
Surveyed June 25 2002 by Julie & Lanie Karm
Devine from 173 to FM 2200 to CR 765 curves after church cemetery about a mile on right inside private property Tomerlin Cemetery sign on left.
The
Tomerlin Historic Sign reads:
Tomerlin Cemetery
Washington Allen Tomerlin set aside this burial ground for his family and
neighbors in what was at that time an isolated area of Medina County. The
earliest dated gravestone is that of Martha Ivy Essary (1856-1875) But many old
stones have initials and no dates. Among those buried here are veterans of
the Civil War World War I World War II and Vietnam as well as three
Littleton brothers said to have been Texas Rangers. The southwest corner
of this 1.39 acres hods the Brackens family freed slaves who settled nearby.
This cemetery remains a chronicle of Medina County Pioneers and Their
Descendants.
