Location: From the intersection of Hays County Road 150 and F.M. 1826, just north of Driftwood, take F.M. 1826 and drive toward Austin/Oak Hill for 5.8 miles to the junction of County Rd 163 and 1826. Turn left onto 163, and drive approximately three-quarters of a mile. On the left side of the road, out in the pasture, and down a sloping hillside below what appears to be the remains of an old homestead and milk house is a rock-enclosed grave.
