Goliad Community Cemetery
Buffalo, Leon County, Texas, USA
The Williams Family Cemetery is on this corner. Take this dirt road, at about 300 feet a gate (usually locked), at 0.25 miles a cattle guard, a total of 0.65 miles to the entrance of Grace Chapel. The cemetery is to the right across the church property in the woods.
Sallie (Simpson) Roberson, who was born in this community in 1923, relates that the Gibbs out of Huntsville gave some 2 or 3 acres for the cemetery. She also says that there are 3 or 4 hundred people buried here. In her younger years this was a good size community with a Baptist Church, a Methodist
Church, a schoolhouse and the cemetery located side by side. The school is gone. The Baptist Church is gone. The cemetery is all but gone. She says that back in the 1950's some white boys came over and vandalized the cemetery by busting the gravestones apart with sledgehammers. Some of the stones show
signs of being vandalized.
