This is a small, black cemetery on the Johnson family land. It was bought by Peter Johnson right after the slaves were freed in 1865 and is still in the family today. There are only two markers in the cemetery, but all eleven graves are for Johnson family members. It is unfenced on a creek bank and has washed a lot over the years. The oldest marker, and the first grave put in the cemetery, was for Peter Johnson, who was murdered 1 August 1883. To get to the cemetery, go east from Hallettsville to FM 2314, turn left and go .7 miles. There is a wagon wheel gate on the right turning into the house where Lillian Dees, Peter Johnson's granddaughter, lives. The cemetery is toward the back side of the place on the creek.
