Old Oaks of Big Uncle Cemetery Big Uncle Cemetery Photographs
Big Uncle Cemetery, located a little over a mile northwest of Richland Springs, Texas on Richland Creek, is probably the oldest cemetery in the county. It was named for Amaziah R. "Big Uncle" Woods, an early settler in the area, who donated the land and helped fence this half acre with sandstone blocks to establish the settlers' first cemetery.
