Marker Text:
Marion D. and Harriet Pryor Kelley settled in the Liberty community in the mid-1880s. In 1891, they deeded land for a cemetery and school to Erath County. The oldest grave is that of the infant son of W.H. Handy and Hattie Finnell Handy in 1890. Other burials include the families of J.S. Dawdy, John M. Danner, Civil War veterans John Bell Moring and A. Amariah Swanner, and German immigrant Henry Hunt. Gravestone materials include granite, sandstone, marble and limestone, and some indicate members of the Masons, Order of the Eastern Star and Woodmen of the World. This historic cemetery is a reminder of the perseverance of early settlers in Erath County.
