History

Andrews Chapel Cemetery, associated with the Hackberry community east of Waelder, was named for settler A.G. Andrews, who by 1866 had donated land for a burial ground and a Baptist church. The oldest marked grave, dating to 1860, is that of Mexican War veteran Alfred Morrow, and the cemetery also holds Joseph Lawrence, believed at his 1897 death to be the oldest surviving veteran of the Texas Revolution. The site received a Texas Historical Commission marker in 2004 and is maintained by an association that holds annual homecomings.
