Joy-Mohler Cemetery, Mills Co Cemeteries of TX Gloria B. Mayfield

The inscription on Ben Bull's Marker

A precious one from us is gone.
The voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home...
That never can be filled.

"We miss the sunshine of thy face.
The loving tender care.
Our home is dark without thee.
We miss thee everywhere."

Although it is not documented, this is Eliza Jane Spark Bull's style of writing.

The tragedy reads like a Paul Harvey "Rest of the story."
(BTW, Ben died of typho-malaria.) 3 Jan 2004

Joy-Mohler Cemetery is located Southwest from Goldthwaite, Texas. Out of Goldthwaite, take Hwy 16 toward San Saba for approximately four miles. At County Road 3023, also known as Bull Creek Road, turn left and go approximately five miles, to the ranch of Mr. Eddie Mazanec, Jr., which is a blonde brick home on the right side of the road. Mr. Mazanec informed us that in the event of his absence, persons interested in seeing the cemetery should contact his next door neighbor, Mr.E.M. House or his wife Linda who maintain a key to the Mazanec property. Rosemary Davis

The following is the listings taken from tombstones in this cemetery as found on Jan 3, 2004 by Pat Longest. There are numerous graves in this cemetery that are marked only with stones and no other identification. We possibly overlooked some of the graves as there is an overgrowth of grass. We ask that any errors on our part be forgiven. Rosemary Davis and Pat Longest
