This cemetery was associated with the
New Providence Missionary Baptist Church, which was founded
in the 1880s. The first documented burial was of W. E. Newton
in 1896. In 1903 the church was damaged by a windstorm, struck
by lightning and later burned to the ground. Without a church
building, the congregation disbanded. It was briefly reorganized
in 1921 to maintain the cemetery, but broke up again in 1925.
Five of the 58 graves are unmarked. Among those buried here
are veterans of five wars, a former county judge and a former
district judge. --Texas Atlas
This cemetery is located in Longview
at the corner of Judson Road and Hollybrook.(2000 Judson Road)
It sits next to a small shopping center and is enclosed by a
black wrought iron fence. It is very well kept and has a gate
at one end and a gate at the side next to the shopping center.
The plaque at the side gate says New Providence 1892. This cemetery
was read by Sharon Pierce & Elaine Martin 8-2-2000.
