MOON CEMETERY

AKA HOG EYE AKA OLD BAPTIST CHURCH

Aka Perryville Cemetery

BASTROP COUNTY, TEXAS

SOUTH OF ELGIN

 

LOCATION:  In the Perryville community.  From Elgin, go southwest on FM 1704, past CountyRd. 75 on the right and before County Rd. 52 on the left.  The cemetery will be on the left side of the road behind the McShan Memorial Gardens Cemetery. Hog Eye was the name of the old railway station.  Surveyed 9/28/98.

The old road used to be behind the cemetery so the “prominent families” that used to be in the front of the cemetery, are now in the back.

It was difficult to read most of the headstones.  Many are broken. There were indications of camp fires recently.
