SABINE CEMETERY - Northeast of Lindale - Subject Marker - 1985
Sabine CemeteryThe Sabine Methodist Church was organized in 1894 by the Rev. L. L. Pate. This congregation was named for its proximity to the Sabine River. Land for the church, school and cemetery was donated by Joe Crone.

The fellowship was served first by circuit preachers but in 1922 began sharing a minister with the Lindale Methodist Church. In 1969, the Sabine and Lindale congregations merged. Throughout its history, Sabine Methodist Church has placed an emphasis on christian education and has provided fellowship for members who often live miles apart in the surrounding rural area.
