Bosque County Road #1135 or Hwy. 56, a few miles from Hwy. 22,
east of Kopperl
from sign on the road "Settlement of Northeastern Bosque County began
in the 1850s, as people traveling west through the area were attracted
to the fertile lands along Cedron Creek.  Among the first community projects
of the new neighbors was the construction of a school building, a one-room
structure.  It was also used for church & social gatherings.  The original
schoolhouse was replaced in the 1930s by a newer structure."   Like its
predecessor, it also served as a church & community center.  The school was
consolidated with other area schools in 1938 & the building later was
dismantled. These directions by:  Teresa K. PARRISH--Take Hwy. 22 bwtween
Meridian and Whitney Dam. Turn North on FM 56, go about 6 miles past entrance
to Cedar Shores and across Cedron Creek. Take the 1st left hand gravel road,
about 1 miles. Cemetery is on the left inside a pasture.  It is posted but
cemetery visitors are welcome. (Updated 07 DEC 2002) 


In a corner of the cemetery off by itself  is a rock that according to legend marks the 
location of the grave of "Indian Joe". Legend has it that in the late 1800's a wounded 
indian brave was found, some of the women settlers tried to nurse him back to health, 
but he died, they buried him in a corner with only a large rock for a 
marker...............................never learning his true name.
