In August of 2004, I hid my first cemetery cache called
Daniel My Brother. The other day, I was driving down this
road and I just happened to catch this cemetery out the corner of
my eye. It's still sort-of out in the country, but as you'll
be able to tell, that may not last long. You'll go right by
the oldest graves on the way to the cache. LOBYOP. Good
luck!
This burial ground originally served the family of the Rev.
Ellison Armistead Daniel, Sr. (1797 - 1875) and pioneer settlers of
southwest Dallas County. Daniel, who brought his family here
in 1852, was a part-time Baptist minister who also farmed and
ranched this land. The cemetery was first used in 1853 for
the interment of his daughter-in-law Fannie P. Daniel. The
earliest marked grave is that of Daniel's son-in-law William S.
Langley (1822 - 1857). Other graves include those of Daniel
family members who figured prominently in the development of
Duncanville.
