“The Wooster Family Cemetery was located at the end of Crow Road off of Mapleton Drive by Burnet Bay in Baytown. Part of the old Wooster community (town site). All thats left of Wooster is the Wooster School House in Baytown. Town of Wooster was laid out in 1892; In the late 1980's nothing was left of the cemetery. Subsidence had destroyed this cemetery. Several coffin handles have been found on the shoreline and at low tide the remains of a cement crypt could be seen. This Cemetery was part of the old Wooster community, at the end of what was Mapleton Drive in an area that later became a part of Brownwood Subdivision. 90% of Brownwood Subdivision was eventually destroyed by subsidence and the resultant flooding from Hurricanes Carla and Alicia. While some graves were relocated, not all could be and remained there. Now under water and part of the Baytown Nature Center, the cemetery was at the tip end of the peninsula with Scott's Bay on the east and Crystal Bay on the west. The tip can be reached using hiking trails that were once public streets in the subdivision. Several coffin handles have been found on the shoreline and at low tide the remains of a cement crypt could be seen at one point in time.”
