Buck Foster Cemetery, also known as Foster or Loma Cemetery, lies about twelve miles west of Huntsville in the eastern part of the Loma Community and served the nearby rural communities of Loma, Gladstone, and New Hope. It was officially created in 1882 when William Harrison "Buck" Foster sold 100 acres of land to W.L. Sandel while reserving one acre for a cemetery, though the land had already been used as a burial ground for people in the surrounding community, as shown by eroded sandstone markers in the cemetery's northwest section. With hundreds of burials, it includes some of the area's earliest graves, among them Nancy (Gibson) McCulloch Heath, who was one half Choctaw and one half German, came to Texas from Illinois in 1845 with her husband Samuel David McCulloch and two children, later married her neighbor William Heath after David's death in 1848, and had seven sons; many of her descendants are buried there. The oldest marked tombstone is for William McCulloch, Nancy and David's son. Gravestones of sandstone, concrete, granite, marble, and steel bear symbols including Masonic and Eastern Star emblems, religious imagery, and images tied to ranching, farming, sports, and music. Many military veterans dating from the Civil War are buried there, and the cemetery stands as a testament to the pioneering men and women of southwestern Walker County.
