Welcome to Mt Capers Cemetery. This is a spacious, out-of-the-way, and well-kept cemetery in San Jacinto County. Some of the markers are ornate while others are mere undressed and unmarked field stone. I saw headstones made of marble, granite, and even a few made of metal. See if you can spot the Woodmen of the World marker.
From the Historic Marker:
Sarah Washington Ricks Durdin Chrznowski (1819-94) donated land for this cemetery from estate of her late husband, James. T. Durdin (d. 1859), probably in 1860s, although no deed exists. Cemetery was named for adjacent Mount Capers Baptist Chapel, built by the Rev. L. R. Capers. According to tradition, first grave was for Elisha Williams; James Tarpley Knight, an infant grandson of land donor, was interred in Dec. 1871. Oldest legible headstone is dated 1873. The Mount Capers Cemetery Association received in Aug. 1971 a deed to four acres of land here. There are 100 or more graves.
There is a dollar coin for the First to Find. It is on top of the conatiner.
