William T. Walker (1824-1885) was an early settler in the area, establishing a Methodist Church at Friendship in 1872 and serving as a Trustee until his death in 1885. He was the first to be buried here a year after Edward Wesley Graham (1819-1901), responding to the community growing needs, deeded some five acres of land at this site for "church, Parsonage, Burial or other Church purposes". Today, this burial ground remains a chronicle of the pioneers, veterans and generations of families that settled in the area of Milam County. Since the 1940s an Association has overseen its upkeep and affairs.
