Cauble-Burch Cemetery
Cauble-Burch Cemetery and the restored Peter Cauble House are located two miles north of Chester, Texas, on Farm Road 2097 in northwestern Tyler County, Texas. The cemetery and house are less than one-half mile northeast of the Christian retreat, Camp TA-KU-LA. Five acres of land surrounding the cemetery and house were given to Tyler County Heritage Society by Temple-Inland Foundation at the urging of Cauble descendants and by the goodwill of Temple-Inland, Inc. The house and cemetery are leased and maintained by the Christian retreat and with the gratitude of Cauble descendants.
Because of the size of the cemetery and the piles of stones in various locations, several unmarked graves are believed to be located in the cemetery. The Texas Cauble Family Association researchers want to document any other burials in this cemetery. Go to the cemetery listing on FindAGrave.com
