Stewart Cemetery, which is named after John F. Stewart, an early Texas Republic pioneer, is considered by many local historians to be one of the oldest and by oral tradition to be the oldest cemetery in present day Hunt County, Texas. The cemetery is located approximately 13 miles northeast of Greenville, Texas off of FM 1568 and approximately two miles east of State Highway 50. The cemetery is first mentioned in land records when the owners of the land surrounding the cemetery sold their land. Mr. Martin V. and Julia (Stewart) Williams sold their land in 1892 to William W. Massey, reserving 2.0 acres for a graveyard. Then on July 30, 1907, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, for love and affection, gave this 2.0 acres of land (graveyard) to the Trustees of the Stewart Graveyard. The cemetery holds the bodies of Republic of Texas citizens, at least eleven Confederate veterans, a State Legislator, and many other military veterans of all wars since the Civil War and up to and including Viet Nam.
In 1841 the first settlers began to locate near within a few miles of the camp where they could ride for protection from the Indians if the need arose. John Stewart settled approximately seven miles northwest of the Ranger Camp. Boone purchased 3325 acres of land for $20,000. The deed was dated August 4, 1840. The land was purchased with a bond unto Gilbert Clark, the designated land commissioner and judge justice in Red River County, Republic of Texas, under President David G. Burnett. This land was located in Red River County, The Republic of Texas, which later became Hunt County, Texas in 1846. The Needham Boone survey is still listed on several land transactions in present day Hunt County, Texas.
Of the land purchased by and surveyed for Boone, many of the earliest settlers of Hunt County, Texas bought land from or around this survey. Located in the general area of current day, Stewart Cemetery, the land purchased from the Boone survey included John Stewart, William Rippy, William Barker, Godfrey Smith, J.E. Woods, and the Bantan brothers. George W. Dunbar, which Dunbar creek is named after, brought 320 acres on January 15, 1847. W.W. Barker brought 1700 acres, Red River County Certificate #30, Republic of Texas, which was signed on November 18, 1842. This land is where the Stewart Cemetery is located today. All of the aforementioned persons along with their families were some of the first settlers of eastern Hunt County, Texas. When they first settled this area, it was part of Red River County, Republic of Texas. Hunt County became a county in 1846 when Texas became a state of the Union and Red River County was divided up into several counties. The land were they settled was later known as Smith Prairie and is currently known by this to the older citizens of this Hunt and Hopkins County area. Smith Prairie, a stretch of land bordered loosely on the north by South Sulphur River, on the east by the Hopkins County, Texas line, the south by FM 499 and on the west by Dunbar Creek, was named after Godfrey Smith, which settled nearby the Stewarts, in 1844.
During the early years of Hunt County, public education of children rarely occurred because of few if any teachers and the lack of schools. In May 1867, a school was held in the newly built Maloy schoolhouse. The Maloy school house remained active until 1950 when it was consolidated with Campbell, Cumby, and Commerce public schools. Another school in the area was Cross-Timbers, which met in the Cross Timbers Baptist (formerly Brumbelow) Church house. This school was functional by 1882 and probably before that date but records do not exist to substantiate an earlier date.
Before the turn of the century, many other families had arrived in the Smith Prairie area to grow cotton and wheat and to raise cattle. These heads of these families were: William Massey, John Cannon, William Harlow, Robert Fenlaw, William Moore, George Wiggs, Samuel Cowan, J. E. Adair, G.H. Harlow, William Ripley, John Cannon, The Koonce�s, George W. Cooper, and William Maloy. These men and their families were prominent people in their community. Others would still follow right after 1900. Farmers were moving into this area since the ground was of sandy loan and they were tired of farming the blackland of other areas of Hunt County. These were: James Marriott, Jess Alexander, J.F. Berry, Wesley Fleenor, Joe Ray, Will Denton, and the Elmores. Many of their descendants are still alive today living in Hunt County ,Texas being productive citizens of this great State. Several of the newcomers hand-dug graves of the earliest settlers as they were beginning to pass away. Family members and their children of the new community was also soon to be buried there. The medical epidemic of the early 1900s took its toll on the young children as well as mothers and children dying together during childbirth.
State Representative Louis Lankford, age 63, died November 19, 1940 at the Veteran�s Hospital in Muskogee, Oklahoma and is buried at Stewart. He was elected representative to the Texas Legislature from Hunt and Rains County representing the 40th District. He served with distinction in the 45th Legislation (1937) under Texas Governor James V. Allred. He was also a private in the 40th U.S. Volunteer Infantry, serving in the Spanish-American War.
