Stanfield-Walker Cemetery The Stanfield-Walker Cemetery is located in the town of Lacy Lakeview, Texas, on the east side of North Lacy Drive on U.S. Hwy 77-81, between Stanfield Drive and Avenue-C. In 1844, when Sarah Walker settled on her Headright Certificate Number One, land that was given to her for compensation for the death of her husband Jacob Walker, who was reported to be the last man killed in the Battle of the Alamo, the cemetery known now as Stanfield-Walker Cemetery was originally the family cemetery for Sarah Walker's family. Sarah Walker was born on April 16, 1811 in Mississippi and died on December 10, 1899. Over the years, not only have the family members of the Walker family been buried there, but also it is reported that there were cowboys buried in the cemetery that died moving cattle up the Chisholm Trail which ran through the Walker land. Walker 's family cemetery became the Stanfield-Walker Cemetery when Sarah Walker's daughter ( Margaret ) married Francis Stanfield. Margaret Walker was born on July 18, 1832 and died on March 8, 1923 . Francis Stanfield was born in 1847 and died in 1869 . He was probably killed by outlaws, as the LaVega grant to the south of the Jacob Walker grant was a "no-mans land" and a notorious hideout for criminals. Family members from both the Walker and Stanfield families are buried in the cemetery. Jim Bob Walker's grave is the oldest grave in the cemetery and is walled in with native sandstone blocks. The marker shows he died in 1850. Their are two unmarked stones, very old native sandstone, which are probably some of the "Walker" descendants. Ada Stanfield was first Stanfield to be buried in the Stanfield-Walker Cemetery. She was the daughter of Margaret ( Walker ) Stanfield. Ada Stanfield was born on January 23, 1875 and died on July 23, 1876 . Historical Markers of Lacy Lakeview The City of Lacy Lakeview has two historical markers located within its city limits.
