Good Eveing Everyone --

A friend of mine gave me a photograph of a headstone:

. . .
Reuben
Lewis
born Sep
15 1842
Died Oct
1 1909
Gone but not
Forgotten


Well, it appears that he was forgotten because his grave and those of half a dozen more lie overgrown in thick woods. My friend, a fellow geocacher, found the graves while searching for a hidden geocache. He recorded the coordinates as 29° 26.777 North and -96° 00.510 West. My map puts those coordinates about 0.39 miles southeast (heading of 142.75°) of the intersection of Hwy 59 and Hill Top Road in Waller County (that intersection being 1.25 miles southeast of Kendleton and 4.75 miles northwest of Hungerford.)

Does anybody know anything of this cemetery?
