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. |
