One of several sets of hitching posts in the beautiful, deeply-historic cemetery which serves as the final resting place of the Who's Who of late-19th and early 20th-century Fort Worth.

These particular posts are located near the grave of A. B. Smith, a lurid and controversial local character during the 1890s. When he was shot by his business partner Col. Page (himself a long-time subject of lurid speculation), the resulting trial became Fort Worth's trial of the century.
