OAK GROVE CEMETERY, San Augustine County, TX
Surveyed and photographed 22 March, 2006. Updated Oct 23, 2016 with additional names, some corrections, and missing dates added.
Oak Grove Baptist Church and cemetery are located in the deep woods in southern San Augustine County. According to a marker at one grave, the first person buried here died in April of 1919; however, some older graves were relocated here from other cemeteries when the dam was built.
Directions: From Broaddus; take FM Rd. 83 east 4 miles to FSR 300E. (Look for the large "Oak Grove Baptist Church" sign on the right) Turn right (south) and go 2.4 miles to FSR 317; (again, there is a sign on the right) turn right onto 317 and go about 4 miles; the church and cemetery are on the left. From Pineland: at the junction of US 96 and FM 83, go west on FM 83 about 14 miles to FSR 300E; turn left at the Oak Grove sign and follow the directions above.
These graves are in a corner of the cemetery; we were told they were relocated from other cemeteries when the dam was built:

NOTE 2: Rebecca Drucilla Townsend, daughter of H.J. & Rebecca McGee Townsend. Her death certificate shows she was born June 27 (or 22; ink smear on certificate) 1861 and died January 9, 1938 of a heart attack. Her husband is shown as W.T. Williams. (William Thomas Williams and his first wife, Martha Henley, are buried at Macune Cemetery). 1900 census shows her as Rebecka Miller, widowed; by 1910 she was married to William Williams. The informant on the death certificate was J.W. Lofton, possibly a son by her earlier marriage to a Lofton. The J.P. who signed her death certificate, D.M. Marshburn, was my great-uncle by marriage to my grandfather's sister.
