Chumley, Texas, and Packard Cemetery, San Augustine County. (original) (raw)
History on a Pinhead
The area has had little of its history recorded. No population figures are available but there had been a one-teacher school in 1904. �A number of dwellings� was reported in 1940 as well as a church, but Mr. Massey�s visit in 2012 revealed only the cemetery is left.
Photographer�s Note:
�While photographing the Packard Cemetery a woman passing by stopped and asked if I needed any help. She said there had been a school and church nearby but all evidence of both are now gone.� -
