Scottsville, Texas

My friend took me to a small elusive town in the piney woods of east Texas called Scottsville. Even though I drove, I would not be able to find it on my own again.

It was founded by a large plantation and slave owner in the 1800s (google Scottsville, Tx) and the family has it's own ornate cemetary. Many stones are prepped with an early version of the Confederate flag, perhaps because they served in the Civil War. Many graves are of infants.

There is a small chapel there it was closed and I took a sneak shot through a small front window of the interior.

The 3rd and 4th images show a hole and tube going through the slabs. Back in those days the interned weren't necessarily dead yet so they would put a tube through the slab and into the coffin in case the "deceadent" woke up and a cry of help could be heard from within.
