Additionally, cemeteries cannot
be sold or used in such a way to
restrict their designated purpose,
even if the area has been neglected
or abandoned. As long as there is
visible evidence of burials in an
enclosed tract, the cemetery is
inviolate, and desecration of the site
is punishable as a class A misde-
meanor. The landowner who inad-
vertently lets cattle graze on long
forgotten graves, therefore, is abus-
ing the cemetery and may be fined.
Of course, most people do not
knowingly disturb these old sites,
but a community's best protection
against abuse is knowledge-knowl-
edge of cemetery laws and legal
alternatives should the plots be
threatened by development or inap-
propriate removal.
If a resident does see a cemetery
being disturbed or vandalized, the
incident should be immediately
reported to local authorities, who
are empowered by law to protect the

and vandalism, are more than just a
series of forgotten grave markera-
rather, they represent Texas’ rich
past and offer a rare glimpse into
the beliefs and traditions of early
pioneers.
A growing interest in once-ignored
cemeteries has spurred many Texas
conununities to ensure that local
plots are properly surveyed and
maintained. However, many rural
plots tucked away on private land
are often overgrown and deteriorat-
ing. Only through local awareness
can residents come to realize the
significance of these grave sites and
understand the lifestyles, religions,
social structures, and ethnic diversi-
ty of early settlers.
Although many people are not
familiar with cemetery laws, resi-
dents (especially landowners with
family plots on their property)
should be aware that land dedicated
as a cemetery cannot be disturbed-
in other words, once a cemetery,
always a cemetery. The only
exception would be if the area's
District Court formally removed the
cemetery s purpose of dedication.

site. Secondly, the Texas Historical
Commission, county historical com-
mission, and local newspaper should
be alerted about the cemetery's
destruction Publicity, the most
effective tool, will rally community
support and possibly save a threat-
ened tract.
Other events that generate public
interest include cemetery clean-up
days, columns in the local paper
detailing the lives of early settlers,
and cemetery surveys, which in-
volve documenting each grave and
noting any historical information
available on the cemetery and the
surrounding area. In addition,
taking photographs of the markers
not only provides an afternoon of
creative fun, but also provides
evidence of the site's existence
should the stones be illegally re-
moved.
Once a community or historical
commission has expressed interest
in a cemetery, a historical marker
may be the ideal way to record and
preserve the history of the site. The
Research and Markers Department
of the Texas Historical Commission
reviews each marker application
based on various criteria, including
the exact location of the c cemetery;
pertinent dates and historical infor-
mation; date of the earliest grave;
approximate number of graves;
family, church, or ethnic groups
associated with the cemetery; its
present condition; and who current-
ly maintains the site. By securing a
historical marker, future genera-
tions are assured of a place to
remember, study, and appreciate
the lives of early settlers who helped
shape present-day Texas. Residents
should keep in mind, however, that
historical markers do not provide
legal protection for cemeteries-they
are already protected under sepa-
rate state laws.
For communities or individuals
interested in preserving a pioneer
cemetery, the THC is publishing a
special preservation guideline later
this fall entitled “Preserving Ceme-
teries." For more information on
acquiring the publication or initiat-
ing work on a cemetery, call or write
