Little history known about burials in Grace-Smith Cemetery. Thirty eight grave sites were found and moved by the The
Corps of Engineers in 1953. Of the 38 graves found, only 15 names were identified. Grace-Smith Cemetery was moved when
Lake Lewisville, Denton County, Texas, was enlarged. Information on this cemetery is from files of The Corps of
Engineers. The cemetery was moved to Little Elm Cemetery in Little Elm, Texas, along with three other abandoned
cemeteries. The existing Little Elm Cemetery was at the present location with the exception of graves moved from lower
part of the cemetery to a higher location. Burials in the Grace-Smith Cemetery are located at the north end of Little
Elm Cemetery.
