Calhoun County Cemeteries Need Preservation Effort
Historic Calhoun County cemeteries hold early Texas and county history with sites like Indianola Old Town and Port Lavaca graves. Vandalism, erosion, and poor upkeep threaten markers of Gutierrez-Magee expedition members, Old 200 colonists, DeLeon and DeWitt settlers, veterans, and notable figures such as Dr. Moses Johnson. A historic survey underpins calls for restoration and markers at key gravesites.
