    Very historic cemetery with early Texas pioneer settlers back when it was part of Mexico and Indian…read moretribes were in the area!! Most of the men worked as Texas Rangers during the wild frontier days. I was mainly looking for Rogers Hornsby, the baseball legend, but there are generations of the family buried here. Maybe do a little Genealogy research before if you want to know "who's who".

    I was actually surprised to see a large well-manicured cemetery located almost a quater of a mile…read moredown a difficult to drive gravel road just off of Webberville Rd (aka FM-969). I don't recommend driving a small compact car down this single lane rough road because of the unevenness of it. The cemetery has a hundred or more graves, many of which are of the name Hornsby. Two things I noticed, there were quite a number of graves that had the "daughters of the republic" seal on them. The other thing I observed was that there were quite a number of Texas Rangers crosses as well. The cemetery is filled with some figures of local Texas history. And like a lot of graveyards from the 1800s, sadly quite a number of those graves are infants and children. I did find two large stone historical markers, but not a Texas historical sign. There's a sign on the entry gate where you can email questions to. Immediately next-door to the cemetery there's another cemetery called Cementario Mexicano. So if you're looking for a really nice cemetery to visit, I would recommend this place, but be sure to drive an off road vehicle or pick up to get there. The photos below help with the history.

    Alamo Survivor, famous locals, Pokémon go, Ingress. I don't think this place has a restroom. If…read moreyou are looking for something specific, it could take a long time. It's beautiful, old, and fairly unkept (weeds, vines, stickers, fire ants). Drivable/accessible. Susanna Dickinson - section 1, Lot 363 located in the southwest end of the old cemetery. Including info because it's hard to find specifics. Blurry map available online. Bio: Susanna Dickinson was the wife of Captain Almaron Dickinson and was the sole adult Anglo survivor that witnessed the massacre at the Battle of the Alamo. On the morning of March 6, 1836, as the troops of General Antonio López de Santa Anna stormed the mission, Captain Dickinson ran to his wife, reported that all was lost, and expressed hope that she could save herself and their child. Although he died at the Alamo, his wife and child Angelina survived. Following the fall of the Alamo, Susanna was escorted from the Alamo mission, interviewed by Santa Anna himself and sent by him with a message to Sam Houston. She was a strong woman survivor and remained a patriot of Texas, but the memory of those days would haunt her the rest of her life. Bio by: John "J-Cat" Griffith

    This is Austin's oldest cemetery, with burials dating back to the 1830's. These days, you see so…read moremany of the perfectly manicured cemeteries with the evenly spaced, well-polished gravestones. The older section of Oakwood cemetery is just as painted by literature and movies - crumbled down gravestones, crawling vines, unnamed dead, multiple generations of families buried together, and wrought iron fencing. Go find the graves of John Henry Faulk, Andrew Jackson Hamilton, and Ima Hogg! I hope I have not disturbed any of the dead during my visits there or my Yelp review. I simply like to stroll through Oakwood and take in the haunted beauty. Just thought I'd share one of my favorite, lesser known spots.
