Eagle Creek Cemetery is located west of Harleton,
Texas on Hwy 154 W.(Approximately 15 miles west of Marshall) It
was established in 1852 by Tyre Elias and Vashti Daugherty Gibbs
Narramore. They arrived in Texas in 1832 from Georgia and settled
in the Smyra community. Vashti, age 21 was single with children
of a previous marriage. She was one of the first women in Texas
to receive a Land Patent, a 640 acre tract, still called the Vashti
Gibbs survey. Vashti and Tyre were married in 1839.
