Elias DeBusk Enclosure
This small enclosure contains the graves of Elias DeBusk, his wife Martha Edmondson and two children Joseph R. and Ozina.
The small enclosure on the left is the grave of William Ira DeBusk , son of Dr. John DeBusk and Sarah Eakin. He was a cousin of Elias DeBusk. He came to Texas with Elias. He did not marry. He lived with Samuel Dickson DeBusk and Frances Virginia Broocke in the house that was built by Andy DeBusk in 1892. When he died Frances became upset because she could not find two nickles to place over his eyes. It has not been determined when he came to Texas.
