McDaniel Street Cemetery Named Historic Texas Cemetery
Descendants of early Houston-area families saw several years of hard work pay off when the Texas Historic Commission recognized the Crosstimbers-area’s McDaniel Street Cemetery as a Historic Texas Cemetery on October 8, 2020.
Established in the mid-1800s, the cemetery is located at the corner of McDaniel Street and Schuller Road. Descendants of the Westcott family, whose ancestors are buried at the cemetery, joined with local community members to form the nonprofit Westcott Cemetery Association (WCA) in 2018.
The McDaniel Street Cemetery was previously known as the Westcott Cemetery because the only signage on the property is the name “Westcott” over an arched entryway to a family plot.
In 2013, Sunbeam Curry Civic Club partnered with Houston Northeast Community Development Corporation and Greater Northside Management District to clean it up.
Descendants of the McDaniel Street Cemetery families are asked to contact the Westcott Cemetery Association at [email protected].
For more information: http://westcottcemeteryassociation.org/.
Pictured is Sara Westcott Haynes, founding board president of the Westcott Cemetery Association.
