Fuqua Family/Erwin Cemetery

Sunday, May 4, 2025 from 3-4PM at the Cemetery

As specified by the bylaws of the Fuqua Family Cemetery/Erwin Cemetery Association, we will hold our 2025 annual membership meeting on Sunday, May 4.   This year we will be meeting at the Cemetery, so bring your lawn chairs.  This will be a good opportunity to clean up and level the grave markers and burial plots of your family members as well. 

There are several items on the agenda for member approval: election of a director for a 5-year term, as well as approval of membership dues, and burial fees for 2025/2026.  If you will not be attending the meeting, you may designate a proxy to vote on your behalf.  If you wish to vote by proxy, state law for non-profit organizations requires a written  Designation of Proxy form (which can also be found below) be returned to us prior to May 4.  Your proxy may be anyone you designate who is attending the meeting, but if you prefer, you may simply designate the “Board Secretary”.  If you have any questions on proxy voting, please call us at 936-727-2400 and leave a message.  When we send out the annual dues notice in August, we will include a summary of the annual meeting.

We look forward to seeing you there…

If you are a member in good standing of the Fuqua Family Cemetery Corporation you will be receiving a letter explaining the purpose of this meeting and proxy ballot in the mail around March 1. After reviewing this letter, if you have any questions, please email them to us at fuquafamilycemetery@gmail.com . The official notice as posted at the cemetery and in the Navasota Examiner is shown below. We have used the term “Plot Owners” in the official notice because that is the term defined in the Texas Cemetery Regulations which applies to our members who are current in payment of their annual dues.
