Tragic graves of the Couter family, likely victims of the devastating 1873 Yellow Fever Epidemic, in the Calvert City Cemetery. George Couter (Left Stone): The headstone is inscribed "In Memory of GEO. COUTER". Dates: Born Dec. 11, 1839 (or 1830) - Died Oct. 16, 1873. Context: He died just days before his wife, a common occurrence during the yellow fever outbreak that claimed hundreds of lives in Calvert between August and November of 1873. Mary Reese Couter (Right Stone): The stone reads "MARY REESE, Wife of G. COUTER". Dates: Born June 20, 1850 - Died Oct. 21, 1873. Tragedy: She died only 5 days after her husband. She was just 23 years old. The proximity of their deaths highlights the swift and deadly impact of the epidemic on local families. Visible in the background is a large, elaborate monument featuring a seated woman (mourner) with her head bowed in grief. Calvert, Texas, December 13, 2025
