Hays County Texas Archives Cemeteries.....Wallace Mountain Cemetery - Partial Survey More to Come ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/tx/txfiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Scott McAfee smcafee@texas.net July 4, 2010, 9:19 am Abstracted By: Scott McAfee Located atop Wallace Mountain just a short distance east of Dripping Springs (approx. 0.5 miles), this cemetery has one of the nicest views in this part of the county. This cemetery is on property once owned by the Wallace family. Many of the first settlers of this area are buried there. Dr. Joseph Pound and his family, as well as a father and son, both veterans of the Civil War, Henry G. Thurman and Henry G. Jr., are interred in Wallace Mountain. Rev. F.S. Ballard, a noted Methodist minister is buried in the cemetery. The earliest marked grave that we found is that of B.J. Marshall who died in 1872. There are many markers of the 1880's, leading us to think that this was when the cemetery probably began. There are so many small family cemeteries in the Dripping Springs area, that the cemetery probably was not used often when it was first established. The long trek to the top of the mountain sometimes caused problems with burials. If the weather conditions were not just right, a body could not be transported to the top, and the creek, which ran at the foot of the mountain, caused trouble in the rainy season. Mr. Bradley Davis of Dripping Springs related to us that two graves were moved from near the highway in Dripping Springs a few years ago and re-interred in Wallace Mountain Cemetery. The highway was being widened and the two lone graves were beside the road, much like the Wallace Family Cemetery. Also, some bodies from a cemetery near Mansfield Dam were re-interred when that dam was built during the 1930's. The identities of the persons from the Mansfield Dam area are not known. We have attempted to identify them, but at this date we have not heard from the state, who had to give permission for the bodies to be moved.
