Cache is a small camo'd plastic tube. Bring your own writing utensil.
Old Independence Cemetery was founded in 1823. It is located in Independence, Texas on land donated by Madora Cole McCrocklin, a daughter of Judge J. P. Cole, one of the "Old 300" from the Austin Colony. The cemetery was an early community graveyard used by Anglo-American pioneers of Texas. It is commemorated by a state historical marker.
Numerous prominent figures of the Republic of Texas are buried here, along with founders of Baylor University, which had its first campus in Independence.
Gravestones are cut from native limestone and some are decorated with seashells. There are a number of false crypts in the cemetery.
Congrats to AgNav and ChurchLady59 for the co-FTF!
