Elizabeth married William McCullough on March 6, 1834 in Kentucky.
William is also buried in this cemetery. As is their youngest daughter, Bettye E. (McCullough) Bullock.
Elizabeth McCullough is listed on the Historical Marker that was placed at McCree Cemetery in 1986. It names her as being one of the first known persons to be buried there.
The Historical Marker reads as follows:
McCree Cemetery
The first land for this cemetery was granted by Mahulda Bonner McCree in 1866. At least two burials, for John Henry Jones (d. 1862)and Elizabeth McCullough (d. 1864), occurred before the graveyard was formally deeded. Over the years, the cemetery has been enlarged to cover over 3 acres. It contains the graves of Peters Colonists, War Veterans and many person associated with early area Methodist and Baptist Churches. McCree Cemeteary remains an important part of the recorded history of Dallas.
In 1866, MahuldaMcCree deeded 1 1/2 acres for a graveyard. (Dallas County, TX Deeds, Vol. J, Page 485). In 1896, J. E. Griffin and J. A. Griffin and wife deeded an additional 5/8 acre. (Dallas County, TX Deeds, Vol. 247, Page 444.)
A small church was built at the cemetery and used by different groups for revivals, etc. After a fire had destroyed their own building, the Rodgers Baptist Church congregation used the building on the cemetery grounds in the 1930's. For this reason, the cemetery is sometimes mistakenly called the Rodgers, or Rogers, Cemetery, but it is the McCree Cemetery, named for Mahulda McCree.
