Mahomet Cemetery
ABOUT US
The Mahomet Cemetery is located on Ranch Road 243 about 11 miles North East of Bertram and South of Briggs in far eastern Burnet County near the Williamson County line.
It was at one time a thriving agricultural community. Mahomet and neighboring Sycamore Springs once had 3 gins, a general store, a school and 2 churches.
The Smart, Stewart and Williams families settled in Sycamore Springs in the early 1850s. Some of the other early families who came later included the Bakers, Berrys, Clarks, Coxes, Greers, McAndrews, McCormicks and Russells. The community adopted the Mahomet name when the Mahomet Post Office was relocated to Alex M. Ramsey's home near Sycamore Springs in January of 1883.
The Texas Historical Commission plaque at the cemetery that was installed on the Sesquicentennial of Texas Statehood 1845-1995 reads: "This cemetery with interments dating back to the 1850s, became a community graveyard for the Sycamore Springs and Mahomet rural communities. In 1909 J.W. Williams and J.W. & Nellie Greer deeded the cemetery property to the community of Mahomet. Among the hundreds of people buried here are many of the area's pioneer settlers and their descendants and veterans of wars ranging from the Mexican War (1846-48) to the Vietnam War. Mahomet Cemetery remains active and is maintained by an association of descendents of people buried here."
