Geological history. I dig it. This is a rather unique marker. It's not the usual painted steel,…read moreit's literally carved out of the stuff that they're marking: Pink granite. The marker reads, "1979. This 866 foot dome of solid pink granite covering 180 acres contains the largest quarry of its king in the United States. This mountain, like all granite formations, was once melted rock similar to lava. As the molten rock cooled thousands of feet below the Earth surface, it hardened into large crystals of quartz, feldspar and several dark colored minerals." "Whenever strength, durability and beauty of finish is required, granite is a favored building stone." "The mountain was part of a grant made to Texas colonist William Slaughter. The site became famous commercially when a dispute arose in the 1880s of a type of stone to be used in the Capitol in Austin [50 miles southeast]. The issue was settled in 1885 when Governor John Ireland resisted demands to use non-native limestone." "Following this decision, a special track was built to haul the granite to the rail line in Burnet. The stone was generously donated to the State by quarry owners G.W. Lacy, N.L. Norton and W.H. Westfall." "Today, granite from this quarry here is shipped to all parts of Teas, the U.S. and foreign countries for use in monuments, shafts, jetties and buildings. It has been used in the Galveston sea wall and in new state buildings near the Capitol in Austin." [Review 17400 overall - 415 in Texas - 918 of 2022.]

This early 20th century cemetery was once in the countryside, but now it is surrounded on all sides…read moreby local businesses and literally sits next to the newly built H-E-B parking lot in Georgetown. At the entrance closest to H-E-B you'll find a very detailed layout of the cemetery which will provide you with lots of information. The entire cemetery seems to have a randomly laid out pattern of headstones and markers with some family plots, but mostly just individual markers. Many headstones found here are cast in concrete instead of granite. As the sign at the entrance points out, there are many unmarked graves as well which are primarily former slaves and other African-Americans. Most of the graves have long since been forgotten about, but there are still quite a number of newer graves that are well tended by family members. The grounds are mowed, but there are quite a number of headstones in a state of disrepair. There is no Texas historical sign on the property but for more information check out the photo of the map below.

This was once a remote family cemetery, but progress is catching up to it and soon there will be a bank and an Assistance League of Georgetown built next to this property.

Have you heard of the Three-Legged Man or Robert McAlpin Williamson? I had not until today as I…read morediscovered his statue in the Georgetown, TX courthouse square. According to a nearby store owner he was also known as Three Legged Willie. This bronze statue is a little unusual and a bit quirky, to say the least. This statute is featured prominently outside the Williamson Museum on Austin Avenue. This statue captured my attention because I did not know if my eyes were playing tricks on me or this man actually had three legs. Was possible...yes...probable...probably not. The Williamson statute has three legs: one straight, one bent backward, and one wooden peg. The shop owner shared the story behind the Three-Legged Man. Apparently, after polio when he was young caused one leg to be drawn back. Williamson then used a wooden leg to stand and walk. Even with this physical limitation, he became one of Texas's most influential leaders. Williamon was a Texas Ranger, judge, newspaper founder, and senator. For his leadership and hard work, Williamson County was named after Robert McAlpin Williamson.
