The Texas Spirit
Quest
is a series of Caches placed by many individuals, near
cemeteries and historic sites in hopes of paying respect to the
many pioneer ancestors that have ‘walked’ before
us.
There are hundreds of cemeteries in the rural communities
across Texas. This series will introduce you to many of them. The
cache pages will provide a virtual history tour of the cemeteries,
tombstones and local
lore.
There are over 800 graves at this active cemetery, with
burials as recent as March of 2011. There are a number of graves
dating back to the 1880s, and some of these are located near the
front gate. The oldest recorded date of death seems to be from
1854, but as this is an outlier by roughly three decades, I suspect
that a reinterment was involved. Note that you will not need to
enter the site to find this cache. Also note that there is a
Related Web Page link at the top of this page that will take you to
a site with photos and details of this cemetery. Granted, it's an
old Angelfire site, but there's still some interesting stuff
there.
