Cartledge, as president and secretary of the Austin and Northern
 Land and Cattle Company, on Sept. 29, 1891, sold for $1.00 this 
11.7 - acre burial ground. Already site of several graves, it was deeded

 grounds for the members, relatives, and friends". Later it was named by 
the lodge. Buried here are 34 Civil War veterans, as well as soldiers of later
