Son of James W. and Nancy Elizabeth (McKinney) Spruill. Married Lousiana Walton. Served in the Civil War, Company B, 9th Mississippi BTL, Confederate States of America. Have been advised that he was a SS (Sharp Shooter).
He just happened to be the Father-in-law of Ben F. Darlington, who was a very large land owner in the area, at that time. Some feel that his grave site should have a Historical Marker.

Unknown Cemetery in Dilley, Frio County, TX (Adjacent to the Dilley Community Hospital)
Believe that at one time this was a large cemetery (approximately 1.25 acres) in size. There were only 22 graves that could be found with most of them enclosed with the "old time" Iron Fences. The few that were not enclosed with a fence had a significant head stone.
Believe there are many more graves at this site because of the distance and locations of the graves we found. However since there were no more markers or stones we will never know. There is a "Helicopter Pad" in the middle of this graveyard which is used when there are medical emergencies at the Dilley Community Hospital.
Inventory and Photos of these graves were collected by Joe Taffola, and John Hawley on 3-31-2004. Of the graves we found, the first burial was December 1895, And the last was April 1968.
The names on the graves that we found are:...
