On my last trip out to Rockwall I came across the Lawhorn Cemetery. I came across this old cemetery scouting out the History of Klutts Family Farm<\/a>. The old cemetery sits in a lonely\u00a0 corner of\u00a0\u00a0two farm roads\u00a0right next door to the Klutts Family Farm. \"\"<\/p>\n

Originally, I had planed to just to visit the cemetery and see if any of the Klutts Family was buried there. I thought since the farm was neighbors with the cemetery that maybe this was where the family was buried. But it turned out to be a community grave that hasn\u2019t seen a new resident in quite some time.<\/p>\n

But after exploring the place, I found it to be interesting and it brought up more questions about the area who were buried here.<\/p>\n

Lawhorn Cemetery<\/h2>\n

When you drive by the cemetery it looks like it hadn\u2019t had a visitor in a while. The grass is over grown and is about waste high in some places. It’s so thick that some of the smaller grave stones are hidden and you might just trip over them if you aren\u2019t careful. But from the research of the place and the few other pictures of the cemetery the grass is at least cut once or twice a season.\"\"<\/p>\n

From the few grave stones that I looked at, there hasn\u2019t been any recent vandalism if any at all. But there were a lot of cracked, broken, and sinking grave stones in need of some restoration.<\/p>\n

During my research of Lawhorn, I didn\u2019t find much about it or who maintains the cemetery. Hopefully after a visit from the Rockwall Historical Society<\/a>, I can find out more.<\/p>\n

The Interments of Lawhorn Cemetery<\/h3>\n

When I looked through what grave stones I could find, I found that most of the people buried here passed away anywhere from the 1880s to the 1920s. \"\"<\/p>\n

During my research of Lawhorn Cemetery I found that there are at least 135 interments and the newest resident of Lawhorn passed away in 1978. But most residents passed away over a 100 years ago.<\/p>\n
