Lawrence City Cemetery

Lawrence City Cemetery Historical Marker

In 1873, soon after the Texas and Pacific Railroad built a line through this area, a Group of investors formed the Texas Colony Association with the Goal of promoting a town.  Named for one of the Company Directors.  The town of Lawrence  was established and soon boasted numerous homes and businesses.  This community Cemetery  began that same year with the burial of seven month old Katie D. Hibbler, including those of many pioneers.  The Lawrence Cemetery stands as a reminder of the Area's Early History.
