Terrace Cemetery Gateway Arch -- Post TX - Freestanding Arches on Waymarking.com

This is the only arch we have ever seen with a state historic marker fixed to the top of it.

That marker commemorates the incredible artistic vision and effort expended by volunteers George Samson and James Napier to erect a dignified and honorable entrance into the Terrace Cemetery.

C.W. Post himself donated the land and laid out the cemetery in 1908, the year after the town of Post was founded.

The marker reads as follows:

"Terrace Cemetery Gateway

From "Double U", "Lazy S", Conneil and Currycomb Ranch canyons, round rocks were collected and made into gate piers in 1908 when cereal king C. W. Post founded Post City. George Samson designed and with fellow Scotsman James Napier built the gateway. Samson was a community leader 50 years."
