When James Estes and his family moved to the Mansfield-Webb area in
the mid-1850s, little did he know he would be burying his wife, Sarah. She
died 16 Apr 1857 and was the first to be buried in what is now known as Estes
Cemetery. James Estes set aside one acre of land as burial land for his family.
A few days after his wife died, his granddaughter, Mary A. Estes, died and
was buried 22 Apr 1857. Another granddaughter, Texana T. Estes, was buried
23 Aug 1861. James Estes was the next to be buried 23 Mar 1864, alongside
his wife, Sarah.
Silas Estes, son of James and Sarah Estes, took the responsiblity of
caring for the cemetery and decided to make it available to friends and neighbors
in their hours of need. At this period of time, there were approximately
a dozen families within a five-mile range of the cemetery. They were all
welcomed to used the cemetery as a resting place for their loved ones. As
of March 1996, there were fifty known families with 151 known burials. Over
the years, many headstones have been stolen, leaving many unmarked grave
sites. The last interment was Bennie Baker, 20 Jan 1992. Burials in the cemetery
are now limited to direct descendants of the original families.
In August, 1990, a major restoration of the cemetery was begun by the
descendants of those early pioneers, and the cemetery is now well-maintained
and a place of beauty.
The cemetery is located approximately six miles east of Mansfield on
the Arlington-Webb-Britton Road (County Rd. #2017). The earliest marked grave
is of that of Mary A. Estes, (1855 - 1857).
Beginning at the entrance gate on the southwest corner.
