Brownwood, Brown County
Named for early settler and cattle rancher S. R. Windham, this cemetery dates to 1879. The earliest documented grave is that of J. M. McPeeters, who died on July 18, 1879. Also buried here in that year was Martin Shelby Byrd, who operated a store and post office and for whom the Byrds community was named. Others interred in the Windham Cemetery include victims of the early 20th-century influenza epidemic and veterans of the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. In existence for over a century, the cemetery continues to serve area citizens. (1990)
