Gray Cemetery
Cherokee, San Saba Co., Cemeteries of Texas
Photographed
and Compiled by James Robert White
Sep 16, 2003
The Gray Cemetery is located about two and one-half
miles west of Cherokee on the left side of FM 501. The location of this cemetery
was chosen by George Gray, Sr. (More information in the Gray Cemetery can be
found in “Cherokee Creek Country” by Goldie Smith Conley.
At the west entrance to the Gray Cemetery, the
following poem by Mattie Gray Ashley is engraved on a large granite marker:
“ In a valley by the hill, where the skies are always blue,
There lie the ones we love so well, the ones so good and true.
The wise are there, the brave ones too,
For many dreamed dreams, which never cane true.
But forever and always may angels keep
Their loving vigil o’er all who sleep
In the lovely valley so tranquil and still,
In the sacred valley beside the hill.”
Headstones were recorded beginning at West
entrance to cemetery and working right to left to the end of the first row and
left to right alternating direction until my work was completed.
I apologize for any errors found in this effort.
Difficulty in reading some headstones and my typing skills assure that some
errors are included. Please notify me and I will revise entries for future
publications.
