Cochran Cemetery
Angelina Co. Cemeteries of TX
Submitted by Debra Coursey-Pitts and son D J Dec.2002
Location: About 11 miles southeast of Huntington; go Hwy.69 south to Huntington
turning onto FM.RD.2109 for about 11 miles then left onto 2801 (Hanks Creek
area) then right on Co.RD.363 at the Cochran Cemetery sign,cemetery will be on
right side of road.
Cochran Cemetery is known for the story that surrounds the small gravestone that
is located towards the front & center of the cemetery. It is that of an
unknown baby that was left on the doorstep of the Lovelady Family who lived down
the road. The old original marker has long since deteriorated and lays in a pile
behind a new one that has replaced it. *It reads as follows :"Unknown
infant boy found at the home of J.K.LOVELADY on 4-1 and died on 4-3-1899 - MAN
WHO ARE YOU "

this marker reads:
He's taken away a person who was loved by one and all.He spreads his love
throughout this world and never forced a smile. He was a King of men and a tower
of strength who gave you a helping hand in time of need or just a friendly
deed.He lived each day to it's fullest knowing it might be his last.But he held
few regrets or sorrows knowing he had done his best.He knew his time was drawing
near,so he gathered his loved ones close by,he prayed please don't cry for me,
for now I lay me down to rest. Written by daughter-in-law Sandra
