Originally known as Morgan Cemetery because it stood on land owned by Daniel Morgan (1818-1892), a Kentucky native who came to Texas from Illinois with his family in 1834, this burial ground later became Fulton Cemetery. Morgan married Sara Caroline Childress (1826-1892) in 1842, served in the Civil War in Company F, 1st Regimental Infantry, 3rd Brigade Texas State Troops, and by 1878 had relocated to Bosque County and purchased land along the eastern fork of the Bosque River. The date of the first burial is unknown because many early graves were marked with common field stones, but the first marked burial is Martha A. Duke in 1880. Only three known Morgans are buried here: Daniel and Caroline, who died in 1892, and their grandson John Henry Morgan, who died in 1964. Other prevalent family names include Jackson, Damron, Rhodes, Ownbey, Phillips, and Fulton. Oral tradition holds that railroad workers and relatives were buried there because of the cemetery's close proximity to the rail line. Most of the graves are of simple pioneers who worked as farmers or ranchers, along with numerous veterans and people associated with fraternal organizations. In 1891, Daniel Morgan's children deeded land to J.W. Fulton and others as trustees, and by 1906 the Morgan family had sold all of their Bosque County holdings and moved away. Sometime after 1892, the cemetery's name changed to Fulton Cemetery. Covered in native grasses and flowers and surrounded by trees, it contains the remains of many pioneers who settled this rural area.
