Historic Texas Cemetery marker by the Texas Historical Commission
Truby Cemetery:
Several gravestones at this site attest to its use as a burial
grounds by nearby settlers. Area ranchers, formally deeded these
three acres for cemetery use on December 4,1906. The oldest
marked grave is that of infant Madge S McCargo (1897-1898),
granddaughter of pioneer Baptist minister George W Scarborough
and his wife Martha, who settled on this land in 1877. Caring
descendents erected a fence in the 1950s and a flagpole in 1998.
Out of respect for the pioneers, veterans, and citizens laid to
rest here; their gravestones remain a chronicle of the heritage
of Jones County. (2000)
