Friendship United Methodist Church Cemetery

William T. Walker (1824-1885) was an early settler in this area, establishing a Methodist church at Friendship in 1872 and serving as a trustee until his death in 1885. He was the first to be buried here a year after Edward Wesley Graham (1819-1901), responding to the community's growing needs, deeded some five acres of land at this site for "church, parsonage, burial or other church purposes." Today, this burial ground remains a chronicle of the pioneers, veterans, and generations fo familes that settled in this area of Milam County. Since the 1940s an association has overseen its upkeep and affaris. Historic Texas Cemetery - 2001
