PIONEER CEMETERY:
Junction, Kimble County, Texas
ONLINE INFORMATION: USGENWEB
PIONEER / NORTH LLANO CEMETERY - KIMBLE COUNTY, TEXAS
July 6,2000
(Compiled and Submitted by Frederica Burt Wyatt)
Location:On Reid Road, just off North Main Street, in Junction.
The Pioneer Cemetery, sometimes bearing the name of North Llano, and
occasionally, Keton, is the oldest burial location in what is now the city
of Junction.It is impossible to identify all persons who rest in peace
here, but we have listed all the graves known to us. Apparently, the
cemetery was much larger at one time, but through the years, many of the
grave locations have become indiscernible.Kimble Historical Commission
was able to partially restore some grave sites.A chain-link fence was
installed after the City of Junction purchased the site and placed it in
the care of the local historical group.
** According to the late Annie Wilson Keese and Mattie Wilson Petty,
their step-grandmother, Mary Ann Pettitt, widow of Confederate veteran
G. D. Pettitt, was laid to rest in the Pioneer Cemetery (at the foot of
Betty Wilson Earwood's grave), but her headstone was placed in the Junction
City cemetery near the grave of other family members. I believe her grave
stone was purchased after the use of the Pioneer Cemetery was discontinued.
Mrs. Pettitt was a sister of Confederate veteran John Ellis, whose grave in
the Pioneer cemetery has been marked with a government stone.
