The Montgomery Methodist church was established by Rev. Isaac Strickland. The church had a yard and it came into use for burials in the 1840s and prior. There is even a headstone of a man who served in the Revolutionary War. The cemetery was used until it was full.
Made for 4 criminals, the New Montgomery Cemetery is a history goldmine. Many Texans through the years have been buried there, including Dr. Charles B. Stewart. The cemetery was made for the four Jesse James gang boys. The public did not want them buried in their church cemetery so they made a new cemetery.
