Black Family Cemetery
Schleicher County, Texas
This small family cemetery, established in 1890, is located on the
original land- holdings of Colonel William L. Black in Schleicher
County, Texas. The small plot is located up the road and west of
the Fort McKavett Cemetery. A giant oak tree, now succumbed to the
ravages of time, still stands in the small graveyard.
The four graves are surrounded by an ornate metal fence, and a number
of beautiful Desert Willows and Agave plants add to the uniqueness of
the site.
The old Fort McKavett- Sonora highway (now Schleicher County Road #245)
passes alongside the little cemetery.
