New Providence Cemetery

Click on a picture to see it full size.

This cemetery was associated with the New Providence Missionary Baptist Church, which was founded in the 1880s. The first documented burial was of W. E. Newton in 1896. In 1903 the church was damaged by a windstorm, struck by lightning and later burned to the ground. Without a church building, the congregation disbanded. It was briefly reorganized in 1921 to maintain the cemetery, but broke up again in 1925. Five of the 58 graves are unmarked. Among those buried here are veterans of five wars, a former county judge and a former district judge. --Texas Atlas

This cemetery is located in Longview at the corner of Judson Road and Hollybrook.(2000 Judson Road) It sits next to a small shopping center and is enclosed by a black wrought iron fence. It is very well kept and has a gate at one end and a gate at the side next to the shopping center. The plaque at the side gate says New Providence 1892. This cemetery was read by Sharon Pierce & Elaine Martin 8-2-2000.
