       NEW EMMAUS CEMETERY      

New Emmaus Cemetery is located on FM 856, 2 miles north of US 79.

Emmaus was never a large community. Emmaus was settled in the 1860s. At its height it boasted two general stores, two churches, a school and a cotton gin. All that remains is the New Emmaus Baptist Church and its adjacent cemetery. Texas Historical Commission Marker
