Texas history in marker and stones
Wish I could visit with these bones
Hear in detail their lives' tales
With just names and dates, the detail pales
Still and all is worth a view
Even if pondering is all I can do.
The marker is just inside the gate of the cemetery.
Take some time to read the headstones -- especially near GZ. A few have unusual names like Texas and Queen Marrs.
Marker Number: 9257
