Gravesite Watch

Venerable old cedar tree stands watch over gravesites at the Walker Family Cemetery on the Fort Hood Military Reservation near Gatesville, TX.

 

When these several thousand acres were appropriated for the Fort Hood installation, the farming families occupying these lands were forced to sell their property to the government and vacate their lands. Several old cemeteries were set aside for preservation, visitation, and future interment by and for those families and their descendants. My mother-in-law and several other of my wife's family members are resting in this cemetery.
