Feely Cemetery

The nearby cemetery was first used in 1910 for the burial of an infant son of J.H. Feely. Feely, the owner of a grocery in the railroad settlement of Plateau, later served as the first sheriff of Culberson County when it was organized in 1911. Three years later he was killed in the line of duty and was buried in Van Horn. The burial ground here contains mostly unmarked graves of family members and pioneer area settlers. Only a metal fence has protected the site, which was unused and neglected for many years.
