Mattie Murrell Driskill -- Sabinal Cemetery, Sabinal TX - Homemade Tombstones on Waymarking.com

This simple square concrete headstone for Mattie Driskill was etched by hand. It stands in the western section of the cemetery.

There are a total of 20 Driskill family members buried in Sabinal Cemetery. Mattie M. Driskill is buried in a Driskill family plot with many members of her immediate family.

With Sabinal being a tiny Uvalde county town, Blasterz are betting that all the Driskills are related to one another.

We have no evidence, but from her age and the fact that her maiden name is listed on the tombstone, Blasterz bet that she was a young wife, who may have died in childbirth.

The waymarked tombstone reads as follows:

"Mattie Murrell Driskill
1899 1925"
