Centerville Cemetery
Here you will find some Centerville Cemetery photos and a survey of its
inhabitants. The cemetery is located across from Centerville's First
Baptist Church on Church Street.
Though it has changed greatly, the following account from a Centerville
resident will give you an idea of the early layout of the town. This will
be especially so if you are able to visit the cemetery. The account is
given from the perspective of standing in the cemetery and facing the First
Baptist Church.
The left side of the cemetery parking lot is where the wooden Hattie
Baptist Church stood. "Hattie" was the original name of what is now
Centerville. Directly across the street was the brick school building.
The First Baptist Church has kept this building in tact. To the right of
the school was a tin building for the schoolmaster. At one time, the
schoolmaster was a Mr. HUNT. Farther right, in the triangular area at the
corner of Church Street and Houston Lake Road, is where a store stood. In
this same general vicinity is where the cotton gin stood. The STAFFORD
farm is where the Galleria Mall now stands (can be seen from the
cemetery). If you turn around and face the cemetery, the land to the left
is owned by the Silas M. RAPE, Sr. family. Mr. Silas Rape is buried in
this cemetery. The woods behind the cemetery was the sight of a lot of
hunting 50+ years ago. And further behind those woods was home to the
BASSETT and GARVIN family farms. In fact, there is a Bassett Street and
Garvin Drive in these locations.
This survey is alphabetized by surname. As mentioned above, I have posted
photos and notes where possible.

**I have been told down through the years that my G-G-Grandfather, Columbus Self B-1842 - Dec 12, 1891 and G-G-Grandmother, Fannie-Mae Watson Self are buried in the Centerville Cemetery. They are most likely in unmarked graves without any type of identification. Columbus was the youngest brother of Spencer Self. Columbus also fought as did all his other 6 brothers in the "War between the States". I also believe that Columbus and Spencer's father and mother are buried in the Centerville cemetery. They were Chappell B. Self and Elizabeth Self. Chappell brought his family and sister (whom later married a Busby) to Houston County in 1833 and purchased land lot 115 in the fifth district. This land is located in the vicinity of where Quail Run Elementary school is today. - Eddie Self
**Lewis Moody b. 1912 b. 21 Nov 1936 and his infant son b. & d. December 1935 are buried in a Brown lot. - Terre Moody Walker
**There is an infant grave marked by a stone angel in front of the grave of Robert F. PETERS (see photo below).
**There is an infant grave with a handwritten inscription that was so difficult to read. Since I am not even a little sure about the surname, I am placing what I think the entry reads here: Ruth, Infant Daughter of Mr. & Mrs. G. SAMUEL, Born Sept 28, 1910, Died May 28, 1912.
**There are 1 adult, 2 possible young adult, and 2 infant unmarked concrete slabs that appear to belong to the RAPE family.
