Marker Text: The Oxford community was founded in 1880 when Confederate veteran A.J. Johnson came to Llano county and laid out the townsite. In 1881, a burial ground was established near this site for the use of the families of Oxford. Burials date from 1883, although some of the graves that were moved from a neighboring cemetery bear earlier death dates. Among those interred there are the town's founder, A.J. Johnson (1843-1924); and James R. Moss (1843-1924), who captained the Packsaddle Mountain Fight, and 1873 battle that drove raiding Indians out of Llano County. (1985)
