History

Smoothingiron Cemetery served the small Smoothing Iron community in northeastern Lavaca County, one of the county's late-nineteenth-century rural settlements. The community was established enough to support a store, run by Robert Miller before he relocated to nearby Sublime. The burial ground is now among the many small country cemeteries catalogued in the county's cemetery records.
