Location:
On SH 137, about 17 miles northwest of Big Lake
Historical Marker: Established about 1903. Site
is on land then owned by early settlers G. W. and Lizzie Stiles.
Plot summarizes much frontier history, as it holds graves of cowboys
who died in accidents on cattle range; one Spanish-American War
veteran; victims of shootings, rattlesnake bites, epidemic dysentery.
Most were pioneers of steady habits and quiet lives. Already in
use for many years, the 3-acre plot was deeded to county in 1920
by J. D. Wagner, an adventuring man who lived for years alternately
in Texas and in South America.
