\"Jeffrey<\/a>The Jeffrey Cemetery, located on Farm to Market Road 713, 10 miles east of Lockhart, TX and 1 mile West of McMahan (pronounced McMan), TX sits on a hill overlooking the rolling woods and farmlands of Caldwell County, TX. The cemetery is located next to, but not an official part of, Bethel Primitive Baptist Church. Information about the early settlers can be found on their website bethelpbc.com<\/a>. Click “About Us”, then “History”.<\/p>\n

The Jeffrey Cemetery was first established in 1847 as a local cemetery with the burial of Martha Ellison.\u00a0 Its\u00a0official name of Jeffrey Cemetery was adopted in 1938\u00a0and was\u00a0adopted as a Historical Texas Cemetery in 2004.<\/p>\n

The Jeffrey Cemetery is supported and maintained by the Jeffrey Cemetery Association, Inc.<\/a><\/p>\n

As members of the association, we also have family members buried here. We are\u00a0taking care of our loved ones who are buried here so their graves, memories, and history can be preserved for future generations.<\/p>\n

Each year in June, the Jeffrey Cemetery Association<\/a> holds a homecoming and reunion<\/a> for the families and extended families of those buried here.\u00a0 Everyone is welcome to come and join us in fellowship and the reunion meal<\/a>.\u00a0 Bring a guest and let them enjoy the\u00a0fellowship and history<\/a> of all that is here.<\/p>\n

The Jeffrey Cemetery Association<\/a> has completed the process of photographing and inventorying all burial plots.\u00a0 Current photographs of each headstone have been placed in our Headstone section.\u00a0 There are many old graves where the headstone is no longer readable due to erosion by the natural elements.\u00a0 Also, many graves are marked with a blank grave marker even though they are documented in the headstone listings.\u00a0 Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the headstone placement.\u00a0 Please read more about the project in our Headstone Photo Project<\/a> section.\u00a0\u00a0If a family does not want the photographs placed here please contact the association and the photographs will be removed.<\/p>\n

The Old Oak Tree sits on the East side of the cemetery standing as a guardian to all that are buried here. No one knows for sure how old it is, but when you stand beneath its cool branches on a hot summer day you can feel the presence and strength of this mighty guardian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
