HISTORIC TEXAS CEMETERY

Cedar Hill, Texas

CRAWFORD'S TORNADO GRAVEYARD

CEDAR MOUNTAIN CHURCH

The Cedar Mountain Methodist Church, commissioned April 25, 1854, was the first church of Cedar Hill. The adjoining graveyard was established when a tornado descended April 29, 1856, destroying the church, town and many homes.

August 13, 1856, Robert Crawford, Cedar Hill's first preacher and school teacher, gave 4 acres of his land where the tornado victims were buried, to the Methodist Episcopal Church South, thus establishing the first cemetery in far southwest Dallas County. The 2-acre church site, sold by Milton Merrifield to the church in 1854, lies adjacent and south of this cemetery.

Surrounded by hog wire fencing and cedar posts, nine tornado victims were laid to rest in a small plot with only piled rocks and Red Cedar trees to mark their graves. Those killed by the tornado were Mr. Berry, his wife and child, John C. Hart, his wife and child, Mr. Dickson, Jacob Allen's wife, Martha, and an unnamed "Negro woman."

  The church and cemetery land was first owned by early settlers, Rev. Robert Crawford and Milton Merrifield, then the Methodist Episcopal Church South, later by James B. Bryan and his son, Connie Bryan, and lately, by Dr. Franklin L. Crawford.

Researched by Wanda Stanton Pitt 2000-2005. Designated a Historic Texas Cemetery by the Texas Historical Commission 2006.

     Submitted by Paula J. Dodd (GGGGrand-daughter of George Floyd, GGGrand-duaghter of Charles Floyd, GGrand-daughter of Oscar Matlock Floyd, Grand-daughter of *Arthur Tom Floyd):
     Floyd-Taylor Cemetery (an area 142 ft x 148 ft, as surveyed) First known/recorded burial, 1862; but George Floyd had a son, Henry O. Floyd, who died shortly after the family arrived in Texas from Illinois in 1848. He died between 1848-1850. Henry was between 19-20 yrs. old, and was not listed on the 1850 Census. The family feels confident that Henry is buried in the Floyd-Taylor Cemetery. The last burial recorded was around 1945.
     Old family stories, say that the cemetery was setup on a burial ground pre-dating Texas Statehood. The cemetery lies in the original abstract 463 of the George Floyd land grant from Peters Colony, per Survey 89-C on May 11,1853. The survey lines were gerrymandered in 1905. Key to locating the survey lines is the location of the spring in Floyd Branch - 20 ft. west of the Highway 342 bridge over the branch.
     The Cemetery is in the Smith-Elkins Survey, adjacent to the George Floyd Survey line in southeast Dallas. The cemetery is at the back of property (according to tax records - which is owned by E
NSEARCH) This location is 1400 ft east of Lancaster Rd. (State Highway 342), along the fence line to a grove of large trees, in a field and very remote; and about 1200 ft south of Cedardale Rd. Map showing cemetery location, here.
