Foust Graveyard
Murray, Young County, Texas, USA
In 1974, the Young County Historical Commission toured the site and noticed that a bulldozer had cleared the land for a power line running through the area. The bulldozer had scooped up the rocks which enclosed two graves into a heap, breaking many. No names could be read on the rocks. The rocks used to enclose the graves were large sandstone ones dressed and shaped like old rock buildings.
There were three graves with the enclosed ones with flat sandstone at the head and the foot but no writing was found.
The location of the graves in the woods is a lonely section on the east slope by the Brazos River. The graves were near the old home of the Black family. A hand dug well was found near where the house was located.
The Black / Foust children sold the land while in Knox County in 1897.
