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 41 interments at this Anglo site, with dates of death ranging from 1853 to 1928. Members of the Foreman and Wells families have been laid to rest here, among sundry others.
The site has a rather overexcited profusion of displays, with four separate naming signs and a historical marker. It is surrounded by a fence with a locked gate and a more different unlocked gate. There is room to park a single car. The grounds at the time of placement were in good shape although there was plenty of evidence of some kind of hooved animal activity all over the place--nothing destructive except for a few small hollows. Not being a country person, I can only rule out deer and cattle. It could've been goats, feral hogs, llamas with their ferocious goring attack, or perhaps rogue satyrs. Alas, you WILL need to enter the site to make the (easy) find. As always, any refinements to the
listed coordinates are
welcomed.
