Map showing Biggerstaff Cemetery.

From Dodd City take FM 2077 South approximately 5.2 miles to FM 1550; then turn East on FM 1550 .6 miles to historical marker. Cemetery is located about .5 mile south of historical marker on private property. Cemetery is perhaps an acre in size. It is not tended and is fully fenced. The Cemetery is in bad shape. Be very careful of snakes and other critters if you go there. As shown in the photo it is overgrown and in very bad condition.[Spring 2008]

Biggerstaff Cemetery

The families of Oliver (1812-1872) and Mary (Livingston) Jackson (1818-1890) and George (1823-1906) and Didama (Jackson) Biggerstaff (1835-1902) moved here from Missouri and settled on adjoining farms in 1854. The Jacksons erected a schoolhouse on their property and this cemetery was established on the Biggerstaff farm.

The first recorded burial here was that of Grant Clutter in 1864. The cemetery, which contains about 50 burials, served as the graveyard for the Jackson and Biggerstaff families and their descendants. The last recorded burial was that of Russell McCormack in 1935. [Sesquicentennial of Texas Statehood 1845-1995]
