Avant Prairie/Brewer

 

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
