May 15, 2025 | Trinity, TX — At the recent Trinity City Council meeting, Larry Turner of Spring passionately appealed to the council to annex and maintain the overgrown Millican Cemetery, emphasizing its historical significance and the need for preservation.
Turner highlighted the cemetery’s neglected state, urging the city to take responsibility for its upkeep. He described the situation as a “grave matter” and called on the council to recognize the cemetery as a sacred trust that deserves care and attention.
The Millican Cemetery, located within Trinity County, has fallen into disrepair over the years. Turner’s plea underscores a broader concern for preserving local historical sites that hold cultural and ancestral importance for the community.
The city council has taken Turner’s request under advisement. Further discussions and evaluations are expected as the council considers the implications of annexing and maintaining the cemetery.
Community members interested in the preservation efforts or wishing to support the initiative are encouraged to attend upcoming city council meetings or contact local officials for more information.
