Born in the Republic of Texas in 1838, Amanda Ruble Taylor moved to this are in
1855. This cemetery began with her burial on family land in 1875. Her widower,
the Rev. Issac Taylor, deeded land for this cemetery to the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, in 1879. The numerous infant grave sites reveal the harsh
realities of frontier life. Buried alongside veterans of conflicts from the
Texas Revolution to World War II are farmers whose perseverance and faith in the
land helped shape this area. The Blevins Cemetery Association, founded in 1958,
restored this site in 1991.
