The Scottsville Cemetery is the oldest private cemetery in Texas located four miles east of Marshall, Texas. The cemetery is filled with amazing artistic monuments. At the entrance of the cemetery is a Confederate monument. During the Civil War the Scott Plantation provided provisions for the Confederate troops. There are seven names, of family members who were involved in the war, inscribed on the pedestal.

In 1904 a church was build at the cemetery by the family of William Scott Youree after he was killed in Mexico. The Weeping Angel marks his grave. The monument was created by sculptor Frank Teich and is named Grief. The ten foot statue is carved from Carrera marble and cost $40,000.00 in 1904.
