OUT IN THE CEMETERY
SOMEONE TOOK THE ORIGINAL FROM WEST OF THE TOILET. THE CACHE HAS BEEN REPLACED OUT IN THE CEMETERY NEAR A SMALL STUMP COVERED WITH VEGETATION. I WILL CHECK THE COORDINATES SOON TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE CORRECTED.
OLD SHILOH HAS A LOT OF HISTORY. FIRST GRAVE IN 1850. PROBABLY MOST FAMOUS PERSON BURIED THERE IS ABEL MORGAN, 1792-1873, CONFEDERATE ARMY VETERAN. LATER WAS A MEDIC IN ARMY OF REPUBLIC OF TEXAS. MEXICANS CAPTURED HIM AT GOLIAD AND KEPT HIM AS A DOCTOR FOR FIVE YEARS.
HIS HEADSTONE IS LOCATED ABOUT FIFTY FEET SOUTHEAST OF THE FLAGPOLE AND MADE OF PINK LIMESTONE THAT CAME FROM THE SAME PLACE AS THE STONE USED TO MAKE THE CAPITOL BUILDING IN AUSTIN.
