The Eastland City Cemetery is more than just the final
resting place of loved ones who have gone on before and their memory
which is evident by the daily visits of family and friends. The cemetery
is also a place of historic resources, a reminder of early settlement
pattern, religion, lifestyles and genealogy. The cemetery has many war
veterans, early settlers, politicians, officers of the law, and even
those who went against the law. Names on grave markers serve as a directory
to these early residents and even reflect the ethnic diversity and uniqueness
of the population. |
