Moorman Sisters Cemetery
in Comanche Co., Texas, is
located about 200 feet west of St Hwy 16 between De Leon and Desdemona,
and
about 100 yards
south of CR 4981 turnoff. This cemetery is tiny, about 4 feet by 6 feet,
containing the graves of 2 little sisters who died of flu.
Local legend says the family could only afford
one good tombstone which appears
to be white marble. The other stone is no longer legible.
The gravesites are surrounded by a stone curb and a wire fence. A scrubby
little tree on each side
makes it more visible.
