About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

William Morton Chambers came to Texas in 1844 at the behest of his celebrated kinsman and eventually settled on a spacious tract of land overlooking the body of water formerly known as Turtle Bay. His third wife, Bettie Keyes Keyes Hunter Chambers, liked the place well enough to give it the name 'Eminence,' a name eventually assigned to the entire community around about. This property is today situated on the north banks of Turtle Bayou near and west of Farm Road 563. Judge Chambers passed away in 1892 and was buried in a small family cemetery on the banks of Turtle Bayou. Folks travelling across the Turtle Bayou ferry many years ago could look off to the west and see the graveyard and its stately stones.
