Cemetery History:
"This community graveyard dates to 1917, when Bernt Anderson deeded land for
that purpose. The first recorded burials in the cemetery were of two children:
Valda Wessels (1918-1920) and Harry P. McNeil, Jr. (1919-1921). A plot in the
northwest corner of the cemetery is known as "Babyland" and contains the
unmarked graves of several children. Also interred here are community leaders
and veterans of the Spanish American War, World War I and World War II. Some
families have buried several generations in the quiet graveyard." (as per
Texas Historical Commission marker erected in 1990/photo attached)
