Back to Historical Markers
in Milam County, TX

Erected 2005

The Walkers Creek community was named for W.H. Walker, who moved to the area in the 1830s. Tennessee native Richard W. Cage settled in the area with his wife Mattie and their family, and in June 1884, the Cage family donated land for the Walkers Creek Cemetery, Baptist Church and School. The burial ground was in use by 1880, when Mattie Lee Jinks was interred here. The church, which organized in 1882, disbanded in the 20th century. An association cares for the still active cemetery, which remains a tie to the generations of settlers who contributed to Walkers Creek history.

I am trying to find out who is in charge of the Walkers Creek Cemetery Association. My sister, brother and I live in the Houston area but all of our relatives are buried at Walkers Creek and we have plots there too.

We would like to be placed on the mailing list for the association so that we can send our contributions to help keep up the cemetery.

I would appreciate it if you could help us by sending a reply to this e-mail with the person's name in charge and their address or e-mail so that we may get in touch with them.

Thank you very much.

Shirley Hairston, Betty Theiler and Stan Hairston
