County Veteran Service Officer CVSO at Lee
County Veterans Service Office
The cemetery is located in the
Lawhon Springs Community of Lee County. Take FM
696 west from Lexington for 12.3 miles and turn right on FM
619 for 3/4 miles to cemetery on the left on top of the
hill.
This community was first known as
the Sam Smith Community and the large springs located here
were called the Sam Smith Springs. The Lawhon
family moved here and the name changed to Lawhon Springs and
is now known as Lawhon Springs Community.
In 1851 at the time of the first
grave in this cemetery it was located in Bastrop County, but
later was cut into Burleson County. The
county line was moved again after a while and it was again
in Bastrop County. In 1874 when Lee County was formed,
it was taken into Lee County.
