Geocache Description:


In this cemetery, you will notice a lot of markers that look like trees.  These are Woodmen of the World markers, which was a Fraternal Organization very popular in the area back in the early 1900's. Many of these tree stump " monuments stand 4 to 6 feet high and show sawed or broken limbs traditionally symbolizing a life cut short.  You can check the Waymarking.com site for more information about these markers.

This cemetery and the church across the road have been a part of the Oak Grove community since the late 1850's, when Benjamin Floyd Harry and wife, Susan Williams Harry, donated the land for the cemetery.

As with most all Texas cemeteries, this one is not open after dark. Please be respectful of the location, and if you are out here during the times you see folks at the church across the street, be very descreet to show the proper respect to their families.

My Father-in-Law's marker is here, near his maternal Grandfather who was a young teenaged conscript in the CSA.
