About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Only two stones remain beside a gravel road near the AT & SF railroad tracks about three miles northwest of Brenham. Evidence of more interments.

German Evangelical Zions Congregation on Sandy Creek purchased 1 acre of land for a church, school house, and burying ground on april 22, 1867. There was a change of ownership to Sylvester German Methodist Church at a later date. When Nath and Judy Winfield documented that cemetery in 1969, they did not know the history or the name of the cemetery and chose one of the persons interred there as the name of the cemetery.
