It is said that due to overgrowth one year, some people 'plowed' the cemetery under. I assume it now looks like an open field. Can anyone in that area verify this? Does Little Flock Cemetery still exist, or with the weeds and growth, were tombstones turned under? Kay Frank>> Dear Kay, You will be glad to know there is not a word of truth in the tale about Little Flock Cemetery in eastern Bell County being plowed under. It is a very well maintained Cemetery. And is still being used for burials. It has an historical marker that tells the cemetery was started in 1860 when a stranger passing through on a wagon train died. They buried him there but the cemetery was not named until 1879 when a small Baptist church (built in 1848) was moved from Sunshine and relocated next to the graves that had accumlated. The cemetery and church ground was donated by the Moore family. The Moores owned and operated a grist mill and a cotton gin. The name Little Flock Baptist Church and Cemetery was chosen from Luke12:32. We live only a few miles away; and would be happy to search out your family gravesites there. Regards, Reba & Wayland Lawler
