Winchester Cemetery

History
Winchester Cemetery has served as a burial ground since the site was given in 1871 by Col. Nathan Thomas (1809-81), a former Republic of Texas congressman, member of the legislature, and civic leader. Many pioneer families from Ingram Prairie are interred there. A cemetery association with 44 members was organized in 1881.
