William T. Walker (1824-1885) was an early settler in
the area, establishing a Methodist Church at
Friendship in 1872 and serving as a Trustee until his
death in 1885.  He was the first to be buried here a
year after Edward Wesley Graham (1819-1901),
responding to the community growing needs, deeded some
five acres of land at this site for "church,
Parsonage, Burial or other Church purposes".  Today,
this burial ground remains a chronicle of the
pioneers, veterans and generations of families that
settled in the area of Milam County. Since the 1940s
an Association has overseen its upkeep and affairs.
