His career in the the House of Representatives spanned 48 years, 1931-1961. That includes 17 years as the Speaker of the House. He was affectionately know as "Mr. Sam" and passed away in Bonham, on November 16, 1961. His funeral was held at The First Baptist Church in Bonham. In attendance at this small town church was then President John F. Kennedy, and former past Presidents, Dwight Eisenhower, and Harry S. Truman. They attended the funeral and the burial at Willow Wild Cemetery in Bonham. As a child I remember visiting my grandparents burial site's, as well as Mr. Sam. Same routine every visit. This visit was for me, myself, and I. I felt the need to visit and pray. I was able to visit my grandparents, my great grandparents, and great great grandparents. And of course Sam Rayburn. Visit this historical cemetery, and the Sam Rayburn Library, his museum, and beautiful home. And remember as you visit, I have exceptional family members resting here in God's care.

I was looking for cremation funeral plans for my oldest brother, and ARMY veteran, who was at the Clyde W. Cosper VA State Home in Bonham, about 45 mintes away. I had all the paperwork and the meeting went really smoothly. Chaz explained everything to me, even when I asked him about having a VETERAN HONOR Service at the National Cematery in Dallas. Chaz took care of everything and removed me from the burden of that task. I felt very comfortable working out all the details of the cremation and funeral plans beforehand. My brother passed on June 7, 2026 at 7pm. The VA State home called American Funeral Services and they were there within the hour to pick up my brother's body. So professional on how that handled removing him from his room to the van outside. Draping an American Flag over his body they wheeled him out in an incredible honor to him. The VA State Home night staff followed us out the building while playing TAPS and....talk about a moment. On Funeral day, Chaz and I planned to meet at the National Cemetary that day. Chaz was very earliy and my brother's remains were laid to rest. I felt so honored and blessed that day....

Cara was so patient and helpful; she wanted it to be exactly right. And they were about half the price of other companies' plain "name and dates" headstones.

Everyone who helped us seemed to have such a caring spirit. First, since my sister and I don't live in Sherman, Travis had Keri send us a price list via email. We were able to select most of the options we wanted over the phone with Chad G. He explained the charge for their basic services, then walked me through the charge for each aspect of a simple memorial service. There was never a "hard sell" and even when I had doubts about whether to choose some of the smaller, optional services, he explained why most people like to include them but made it clear the choice was entirely up to me. The day of the funeral they provided easels and help up set up pictures in the entryway. They also provided three pallbearers, since we only had three of our own. Chad came to the burial to make sure everything went well with lowering it into the ground. They offered to pack up our photos while we were at the burial and deliver them to us at the place where we had lunch. And they sent us home with laminated programs, a velvet carrying case for dad's dog tags, and thank-you notes. We were very happy with the minister Chad recommended (my parents didn't have a home church), David Murphy from North Park Baptist. A member of his church even offers to play Taps live at funerals for veterans, since most of the time what's provided by the military is prerecorded. They made the process as easy as possible from beginning to end.

A few of my Miller ancestors are buried by the flagpole, and a few in the back section. A handful of other relatives (women who married the Millers) are scattered about. I read that there used to be a fence surrounding the property, but was torn down. Someone else also said that a few of the infant tombstones were destroyed during this process. I'm glad my ancestors' plots are still undisturbed. Makes me sad that my 3rd great-grandfather, and his children (including my 2nd great-grandfather and his wife and son) are resting in a plot of land that nobody seems to care about, and construction seems to ruin. There is a little chapel towards the side, and every time I walk in there, you see items that care less children have left behind: Bibles, toys, shoes. Toward the front is a giant oak tree, and underneath it are a few wooden tombstones that belonged to slave graves. The grounds are unkept at times, and I'm always scared that giants snakes, or a wild bobcat will be wandering about. The town of Van Alstyne really needs to take a portion of it's money that they spend on football (a two million high school football stadium...really!) and fix up these old country cemeteries. I'm sure someone comes every once in a while to mow the grass, but so much more could be done to take care of this place.
