The cemetery originated in 1910 when the youngest child of
the loveless family was buried under a large live oak tree on the home section
of the ranch. One acre was fenced as a cemetery and in the intervening
years it has acquired 43 graves from the families of area ranchers and/or
employees who had expressed a desire to be buried there. it is surrounded
by a strong chain link fence, and is cared for by descendants of those families
represented, many of whom will be buried there.
