In Honor Of Lemmie Cain, Jr.

December 18, 1897 to January 28, 1968

On Saturday - November 13th, beginning at 2:00 p.m., Officer Lemmie Cain will be remembered with a brief memorial at the Barrett Station Evergreen Cemetery - All community residents are invited to attend this event.

Lemmie Cain, Jr. served as a Baytown Police Officer from 1957 to 1961. Although employed by Harris County Constable Department – Precinct 3, he wore a Baytown Police Department uniform
and assisted the fledging police force in primarily African American communities within the City of Baytown. During this time period, our nation, including Baytown, was marked by social change, and his contributions were of immeasurable value in keeping law and order in the area. Although the exact location of his grave has been lost through time, his contributions have not. The Barrett Station Evergreen Cemetery is proud to host Officer Cain's memorial.

His wife's name was Cora Owens Cain, who died in 1975.
(Note: we invite any of Officer Cain's family members to call the cemetery, if interested in speaking during the memorial event, which will be outside on the cemetery grounds. Call (281) 670-8133.

Being just under 3 acres, the Barrett Station Evergreen Cemetery first began as an association of private African American families/plot owners in 1923.
