Laughlin Cemetery

 

 

 

Located 3 miles east of Davilla off of FM #487.  The cemetery is not currently posted 

 

on any highway, county, or topographical map of the area. The cemetery is on private

 

property owned by Mike Adam, P.O. Box 141, Davilla, Texas 76523.

 

To find the cemetery go east on FM#487 3 miles (from junction of 487 and 437), it is

 

past Laughlin Road to the right. The access point is just past a white house close to the

 

road with a fairly large driveway. The access is a large red or rust color metal tube gate

 

with initials CA on it, it is locked.  The cemetery is back about ¾ to 1 mile back along

 

the R/H side of this fence line. As you follow the fence line back on the right when the

 

wooded area starts that’s the Laughlin Cemetery. This cemetery has been abandoned,

 

and it is very overgrown with trees, cactus, vines and other poison ivy and is in very

 

bad condition. The cemetery is about 3 acres, we have located 32 tombstones, very few

 

are still standing and undamaged, as cattle have had access, through a damaged fence.

 

Efforts are currently under way to restore it, with the consent of Mr. Adam.

 

 

The Reverend David Ross originally owned this land. His son in law James

 

McClelland Laughlin and daughter Mary Green Ross-Laughlin purchased the land

 

from him and set aside the acreage on which the cemetery now rests in 1862. The

 

Graves family, descendants of Penelope W. Laughlin-Shinault, later owned this land.
