Forrester Cemetery (P)

Brownfield, Terry County, Cemeteries of Texas

Historical Marker : Longtime residents recall the burial of a woman, probably Mrs. W. C. Lusk, on this site in 1922 or 1923. Other burials occurred here as well, in what was then an open field on J. A. Forrester's Farm. Forrester and his wife Nealie sold a two-acre plot, which became known as Forrester Cemetery, to the Union Independent School District in 1925. The first recorded burial was that of Edna Mae Edwards, and infant who was born and died on Apr. 23, 1926. The many unmarked and children's graves reflect the harsh conditions of farm life in the early part of the century. The last recorded burial was that of Melvin Hill in 1961. The cemetery is all that remains of the commuiity. (1998)

Location: South on FM 403 from Brownfield, 6.6 miles, turn W. for 2.2 mi. on dirt road.
