John Smith Cemetery (aka Jacks
Cemetery [Near Hemphill]; Smith-Whitehead Cemetery; Whitehead
Cemetery) Sabine County, Texas - From the Sabine County Court House
in Hemphill, Texas go West on FM 83 (Worth Street) 1.9 miles to the
driveway of a log home on private property.
The cemetery is just to the Northwest of the house at the
back of the house. The northern portion of the cemetery was basically
destroyed in the early 1900's when equipment moving a sawmill to the
area behind the house went through the cemetery.
At one time a Whitehead family owned the property and that is
why this cemetery is sometimes referred to as the Smith-Whitehead
Cemetery. There are 2
vaults still visible and pieces of sandstone headstones.
Information on these buried here is mostly from Blanche
Toole.
