This quaint cemetery is heartwarming. It slopes down to a pond on one side, and a rolling meadow on another side. This exact antique fencing is the first I have seen, it looks like the company was trying to move away from the heavy metal fencing and just starting with the non-climbable wire, so it is very unique. The very small rural cemetery is located a far distance from the road and requires a dubious trip to arrive at this burial ground.
George Henry Gassaway moved to Texas from Glasgow, Barren County, Kentucky and when he died in 1921 he set aside funds to preserve this small cemetery. George has a very large impressive headstone.
