Humphreys Cemetery Jennings Crunk Martindale Caldwell Texas

The Humphreys Cemetery, first burial in 1854, is an active cemetery located about 2 miles southeast of Martindale, Caldwell County, Texas.  There are over 300 gravesites in this cemetery.  The purpose of this web page is to provide information about the cemetery and the activities of those involved with care and upkeep.

On November 13, 2004 we will be celebrating the 150th anniversary of the first burial.  At that time we will present the Texas Historical Cemetery designation received in 2003 and hope to dedicate an official Historic Texas Cemetery Marker.

The Humphreys Cemetery Association, Inc. is an IRS Section 501 (c) (13) organization, and all voluntary contributions which are irrevocably dedicated to the care of the cemetery as a whole are deductible by the donor for Federal income tax purposes.  Copies of the association’s exemption application, IRS exemption letter, and annual information returns are available for public inspection.  To request a copy of these or other related documents, please contact the association secretary.

We are urgently trying to establish contact with all descendants and spouses of people buried in this cemetery so they can participate and have a voice in our activities.  If you, or someone you know has been "out of touch", please Register so that we know about you.

Since the cemetery is by and large the resting place of a number of related persons, it is hard to not have some kind of genealogical character to the Association's activities.  Several families have a number of burials.  We hope to provide a means on this web page to tell us about their history and it's relationship to the cemetery.
