History of the Davis Cemetery
Among those interred at the Davis Cemetery are the victims of the Webster Massacre.  Although an historical marker was erected in 1936, the text of the marker is now believed to contain errors.  Those killed in the Webster Massacre are identified in the Additional Information section of the cemetery's listing.

The source document notes, "Since the marker to the victims of the Webster Massacre was erected, further research reveals the following information:
The massacre apparently took place June 20, 1839, instead of the date on the marker. [August 27, 1839.]

There were apparently seventeen in the party, led by John Webster, who were traveling to his acreage in present Burnet County, when they were attached by the Comanches.  Mrs. Webster and her two children, Martha Virginia, age 3, and Booker, age 13, were taken prisoner.  The others, fourteen me, were killed.. . .
