Marker Text: ​This land was first patented to Amasa Turner in 1847. Settlers erected a log cabin here which served as a church and school facility. Worship services were conducted by circuit riders. In 1896 Melissa Wimberley, young daughter of Pleasant Wimberley, died and was buried on the church grounds. John H. and Callie Saunders bought the property in 1885 and gave one acre for a community cemetery. Later additional land was given by the family of John R. Dobie, W.W.  Moon (1814-1897), first permanent settler in Hays County, is buried here. (1979)
