  This cemetery is located at the intersection of the 
Central Texas Expressway (hwy. 190) and Western Street in 
the town of Lampasas, located in Lampasas County, Texas. 
The Lampasas Historical Society placed a Historical marker 
here in 1993, The first recorded burial in the cemetery was 
in 1854, and the last was in 1873. Severe flooding seems to 
be the reason the cemetery was abandoned. It remained 
neglected for many years, and in the early 1970's while 
surveying for a new shopping center it was once again 
discovered. The cemetery is located in a Wal Mart parking 
lot, and the owners of the shopping mall provide the 
maintenance for it. In 1978 it was deeded to the City of 
Lampasas. Jimmy Trussell walked this cemetery in March of 
2006, and information was taken from headstone inscriptions.
