GARRETT CEMETERY
Stranger, Falls Co., Texas
This
cemetery was established in the original community of Blue Ridge, Falls County,
Texas in 1851 with a gift of land (and site selected by) Thomas McKissick
Garrett. It was used as the community cemetery for almost two decades, until
the Stranger Cemetery and Churches were established in July 1869.
In
addition to the survey of tombstones in this cemetery, Family Bibles, and Falls
County Deed and Death Records have been searched to identify some who are
buried here without tombstones. Undoubtedly, there are some buried here who
have been missed. Twenty or more gravesites have boulder-type stones to mark
them, without name or dates. Several plots are outlined with stones, but have
no stone within these to mark gravesites.
In
the September 28, 1905 newspaper, The Marlin Democrat, a letter to the
Editor from one Walter Tyrol, recounts the history of the Garrett Family, and
states the following:
"Thomas McKissick Garrett, himself, selected this beautiful burying
ground... I have stood once more upon Bald Knob, as it was called in ante
bellum days - now the Garrett Cemetery. Within ten days, loving hands laid to
rest in this sacred soil, the father, Thomas McKissick Garrett, his daughter,
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Erskine, and Easter - the faithful servant of the Garrett
Family."
