Blanco County Cemeteries
| This is on a cemetery plaque
at a cemetery in Alabama: "Linger awhile and walk with me into the
shadowy mist that was yesterday. Stroll across the faded pages of history
and from our hardships learn the ways of a better life. Pass me not
for I am the spirit of your ancestors. In your veins flow my blood and the
blood of my fathers. Linger awhile, if only for a moment and through
your thoughts I will know I am remembered."

There are many
cemeteries in Blanco County, and much work has been done
cataloging them. Many are small family plots on private
property, some had
been "lost", and only recently "found", many are isolated graves
that contain
a person who met an untimely death in that immediate area, and all
that may
be known is that "he drowned in the nearby creek". Work is being
done to
document as thoroughly as possible the persons buried in these plots.
If you
know of a cemetery that isn't listed below please contact me, note the County in Subject.
Or if you have a correction please let know
so it
can be changed.

Joel Honeycutt of the Blanco County
Historical Commission has
graciously offered to perform lookups for persons that may be buried
in Blanco County Cemeteries. Queries MUST be specific, and as much
information on the person regarding approximate dates, possible burial
location, and even cause of death will help. Please do not
ask for something
such as "all Smith's, Brown's, and Jones's buried in such and such
cemetery".
Beyond the complexity of such a task, Joel stays very
busy chasing down any
and all little known historical facts regarding Blanco County in
an effort to
preserve as much of the areas history as possible. Joel
has an index card
system with more information on the persons listed in the
Cemeteries below. He also
has the locations of the cemeteries.
