Geocache Description:

Another historic Hardin County cemeteries. This is an active cemetery though few burials take place here, and yes, that's a real outhouse. You will once again be traveling down one of Hardin counties narrow old roads.


Known originally as the Providence Cemetery, then the Hart/Guynes Cemetery, it is now simply the William H. Hart cemetery. From the Big Thicket Guide Book: The oldest stone is 1894. A year after Providence was established, the first Jordan, a minister, established the first church in Hardin County, about 1832, near the cemetery. It became noted for some very emotional pentecostal revivials. It burned in 1918. In 1878 Sarah Hart deeded 200 acres of land to Z. M. Guynes. William Hart had donated the church building and five acres of land before his death in 1861. This cemetery was part of the 205 acres. When the building burned a new one was built on FM 420 in 1939. Many old settlers are buried here. And that old outhouse is still functional, if the need arises. Feel free to post a photo of yourself, if you like, "using" it, but be modest.
