Historical marker info:
Historical Marker 8607
Roan's Prairie, Texas
Erected 1968
From the intersection of SH 90 and SH 30 in Roans Prairie take SH 30 E approx. .6 mile to FM 2562; take FM 2562 S approx. .2 mile to CR 219; then W on CR 219 approx. 1.2 mile to cemetery.
Founded in 1867 in connection with the Oakland Baptist Church, which stood here until moved to Roans Prairie in 1913. Graves of many pioneers are located here. Oakland was once a popular way-station for the Bates and Black Stagecoach Lines, which ran from Austin to Huntsville until 1880. This road, known as Coushatta Trace, was originally a trail of the Coushatta Indians, a friendly tribe that hunted in this territory. In 1838, a Mrs. Taylor, the last known person killed by Indians in Grimes County, was murdered not far from this site.
Note: Historical marker states that cemetery was founded in 1867, but we found some death dates earlier than this - one in 1858 and one in 1861. Could this have been a private cemetery before this? The church was founded in 1854 (on sign at Baptist Church in Roans Prairie). O. W.
