Sandies Chapel Cemetery

This cemetery first served as a burial ground for the family of Joseph and Catherine McCoy, pioneer settlers in the Green DeWitt Colony, and was later used by residents of the Sandies Chapel community. The earliest graves date from the 1860s. Those interred here include San Jacinto veteran William Taylor, citizens of the Republic of Texas, local Masonic leaders, Civil War veterans including members of the Sandies Home Guard, and four pioneer Methodist ministers: A.A. Smithwick, T.G. Russell, James E. Vernor, and C.W. Elkins.
