| Notes Biardstown Cemetery is a Black cemetery located in the southeast quadrant of the county in the Biardstown community. It is 9.8 miles from the intersection of Loop 286 and Farm Market Road 1497. Take Farm Market Road 1497 to Biardstown, turn east on Farm Market Road 3426. There is no sign and it lies in a stand of trees about 1/4 mile from Farm Market Road 3426 and Farm Market Road 1497 on the right side of the road about 200 yards south of Farm Market Road 3426. It is at the dead end of County Road 13690 in Block 57 of the Lamar County Road Map produced by American Drafting and Services revised December 1993. Part of the cemetery is in the stand of trees. When recorded by Ron Brothers in April 1993, it was not well kept and many graves were unmarked. In 1998 the Black community began to call it the Skidmore Cemetery, named after the Skidmore family which owned the land surrounding it at the time. It appears that Mr. Skidmore keeps the area clean and was rewarded by having the cemetery named after him. The oldest inscribed grave is that of Miner Price who died 3 Feb 1887. There are more than 92 identifiable graves. |
