Brown Ranch Cemetery is located in the Fisk Community about twelve miles south southwest of Coleman. To reach the cemetery from go one mile south of Fisk on FM 1026, turn left (east) and go one mile. The cemetery is located at a crossroad, where both the Methodist and Baptist Churches and the Brown Ranch school were located. The land for the cemetery was given by the Moore family and the first grave was that of Edward Roper, who died April 9, 1911. The land for the Methodist Church was given by A. J. McDonald in 1906. The church had services until about 1930, then the building was given to Brown Ranch School. In later years, the cemetery committee put up a new chain link fence and enclosed the land on which the Methodist church had stood. The Weir estate gave land for the Baptist Church. The Harmony Baptist Church was built in 1914, but became inactive in 2021. Additional land and a pavilion has been added to the west side to the cemetery. This land will be used for burial when the original cemetery has been filled. The Brown Ranch Cemetery map shown here was done by Judia and Ralph Terry beginning in 1998 and is updated annually for the Brown Ranch Cemetery Association. They have given permission to place this map on this website. The Cemetery Association will soon be placing Alpha-Numberical signs on the outside fences to correlate to this map. At the request of the Brown Ranch Cemetery Association, Ralph Terry is adding these map designations as cemetery plot numbers to each memorial at the Brown Ranch Cemetery as help in locating an invdividual grave or memorial.
