Marker Text: ​On the Fort Worth-Fort Belknap Road, near Flat Rock Crossing of Keechi Creek. Occupied 1854 when such travelers as Indian agent Robert S. Neighbors were fed or housed overnight by Bevers. First Palo Pinto County school opened in vicinity in 1856, on a path smoothed by oxen pulling a log. In Bevers Cemetery lies a victim of 1860s Indian raids that sent settlers to refuges as remote as the courthouse in Fort Worth.
​     Bevers (1825-1904), his wife Lucinda Jane Tacker (1825-73), and children lived near Curetons, Goodnights, Slaughters, other noted pioneers. (1971)
