From the historical marker.
"In the 1850’s pioneer families settled here along the Tarrant-Wise county line and started the Odessa Community, now know as Newark. The oldest marked grave in this community cemetery is that of John Hudson, infant son of James J. (1824-1914) and Nancy Judson (1839-1911), who died Sept. 19,1856. The high childhood mortality rate of the 19th century is reflected by the W.D. Hudson family, who buried three children here from Sept. to Dec. 1862. Indian Creek Cemetery contains over 150 known graves, but only two burials occurred within the past 50 years."
