Association historical markers

The History & Archives Committee of the Missionary Baptist Association of Texas is responsible for erecting some memorial plaques for deceased ministers. There are several of these in Rusk County cemeteries, as well as on the grounds (plaza) at the Sweetgum Grove Museum in Henderson. In Rusk County I know of the following:

Ebenezer Cemetery

• Allen John and Anna Loree Nelson Kirkland (1984)

Holleman Cemetery

• J. W. Griffith (2000)
• O. H. Griffith (2007)

Sweetgum Grove Museum

The church museum was erected in 1982 by the History and Archives Committees of the Mt. Zion Association and Missionary Baptist Association of Texas. I believe those at the Museum included below all pastored in Rusk County.

• William Herbert Brown (2006)
• George Ballard Crawford (2003)
• Cub Havis McBryde (1999)

Zion Hill Cemetery

• R. E. Rodgers (1988)

In addition to this, there are some markers outside of Rusk County that memorialize men who pastored in Rusk County – such as G. D. Walters, who is buried in Polk County.
