Location: South of Teague
Background: Began as a burial ground for the residents of Avant Prairie and
Brewers Prairie before the people moved to Teague when the railroad arrived.
This is an old cemetery. I believe this is a racial mixed cemetery. However, the
majority of the graves are Africian Americans.
Avant Prairie A.M.E. Church (started in 1884) stands in front of its cemetery.
Oldest Marked Grave: Ms. Angelina Dill 1873
