New Marker for Carroll Shelby

The Texas Historical Commission (THC) has notified Ned Muse, Chairman, Camp County Historical Commission and County Judge AJ Mason that the Commission has reviewed the Camp County Historical Commission’s application for a Texas Historical Marker recognizing the historic accomplishments of Camp County native Carroll Hall Shelby as a driver, developer, and automotive entrepreneur. The THC is now awaiting the payment of the state fee for the marker and will then prepare the narrative for the marker inscription and have the marker cast.

Smart Cemetery

Nestled in a corner of Camp County, there is a copse of woods that hides a forgotten cemetery--the Smart Cemetery. Located south of Pittsburg off Hwy 993 and across the road from the Bolton Cemetery, the Smart Cemetery is now overgrown and has no fence or even a sign to mark its existence. Isn’t it strange how the hopes and dreams of people can be forgotten; even the good deeds they may have done are no longer remembered. This is why treasures must not be stored on earth, but in Heaven.
