The piece explains how families used private burial grounds near Wimberley before public cemeteries existed. It notes graves on the Wenger Ranch and Driskill-Ferguson-English-Farris properties, the Adare and Cruze sites, and the 1872 start of the Wimberley Cemetery, with mentions of Jacob’s Well Cemetery beginning in 1884 after Moses Bond Egger’s death during a blizzard.
