LAVACA COUNTY, TEXAS
According to Sammy Tise this small cemetery has eleven markers. Among the unmarked graves are Henry Hill, who died in March 1883, and his wife, Sarah Alonzo Smith Hill. The cemetery was located on land that belonged to the Hill family from about 1875 - 1923. It is called the Gephart Cemetery, because Peter Gephart was the first person buried here. In Volume III of Lavaca County, Texas Cemetery Records, published in 1990, Sammy Tise wrote about the Hill Cemetery at Hope after being given information about Henry and Sarah Hill's graves by a descendant. He mentioned that it might be the same as the Gephart Cemetery and it is.
Pattie Smith Collins, who died in 1957, was the last person buried here according to Kristi Tuttle. To complicate the question about the cemetery's name, both Pattie Collins' and Sarah Hill's death certificates list their burial place as the Hope Cemetery. Going south on Hwy 77 at Hope, turn right on Lavaca County Road 413. The cemetery is on private property .6 miles on the right at the gate.
