Luther Ulmer Burns (March 2, 1878—August 5, 1879) and Carl Sydney Burns (February 15, 1881—February 16, 1881) share a tombstone enclosed by a small rock fence on the ranch currently owned by Scott and Pam McAfee. Scott did the research on the Burns Sons’ Gravesite, a history rolling back to the site’s early Hays County landowners. The Texas Historical Commission has officially designated the site as historic and the official state marker has been placed at the site. Approximately 35 people attended the re-consecration, the Hays County Historical Commission represented by Jim and Luanne Cullen.
