Knupple Cemetery

August Knupple, a Prussian who came to Texas in 1846 to farm, established this cemetery on his property around 1870. The earliest marked grave, dating to 1871, is for Henry Robinson, although the burial ground may have begun earlier as a family graveyard. Knupple Cemetery contains at least 16 graves dating to the 19th century, and features grave slabs and Woodmen of the World gravestones. The interred include veterans of conflicts dating to the Civil War. By the 1930’s relatives and volunteers began to maintain the property. Today, the Knupple Cemetery Association continues to care for this burial ground, which remains as a record of the pioneering Knupple Family and generations of area residents.
