Was on a bike ride with the family and we stopped to find a geocache. Took some photos of the cemetary from the fence surrounding it.

Tiny plot just off the trail

I had seen this fenced in area from the road numerous times in the past. When I went walking through Milburn Park there was no reason not to take a few steps off the trail to get a closer look at what's here.

There's just one legible headstone, for one Daniel McRae, who passed away in 1919. There are signs of additional burials there, but nothing legible.

Ghosts In The Graveyard: Texas Cemetery Tales
Olyve Abbott
~~List Price: $18.95~~ Your price: $18.47

Legends of abandoned old graveyards and some not so abandoned abound-the crying dog in the cemetary well, the wandering ghost of Long Tom March, who carries a deck of cards and won't rest until he finds a winning poker hand. Next to a graveyard where an arm is buried, the old piano in the fogotten church plays. These and other tales along with some more recent real-life experiences will intrigue you, skeptic or not. Read the tales with an open mind. They are for pleasure, a bit of paranormal, a little seriousness, and hopefully a laugh or two. If you are a nonbeliever in the supernatural, you may change your skepticism is etched in stone. Then again the author learned that nothing is etched in stone forever. This humorous book also includes some unusual coffins, tombstones, and epitaphs as well as some early Texas burial traditions.
