Prichard Cemetery
The Prichard Cemetery is located at Lancaster. After crossing bridge over Smith
Fork Creek on Lancaster Hwy turn on Smith Fork Road and immediately turn up the
hill to the left to white house. Cemetery is located 100 yards east of house.
This is the largest unmaintained cemetery we have seen in Smith County.This
cemetery covers a large area most of which cannot be reached because of briars
and brush. However, most of the stones are still standing. In the book by Louise
Gillespie Lynch -Cemetery Records of Smith County -1978- it is stated there are
100 unmarked graves Also outside of the fenced area are 50 graves of blacks.
