"John Crayton and the Spruill Family arrived in what became Martindale in 1839. They are all buried in the John Crayton/Crayton-Spruill Cemetery on the same side of the street as the Martindale City Cemetery only a few yards away. What is noteworthy about John Crayton and the Spruills is that they remained in Martindale from their arrival (sometimes between 1850 and January of 1856) until their deaths. City Councilman Lee Harrison has documentation of this as does Eugene Cox, former City Councilman." - _Velma Fogle, August 22, 2006_More Texas Cemeteries
