Those buried in Trap Crossing Cemetery, Coffey Cemetery, and the Gann Family Cemetery were reinterred beside and behind this monument after the construction of Stacy Reservoir flooded the original burial grounds. Trap Crossing Cemetery, also known as Boot Hill Cemetery, Padgitt Ranch Cemetery, and Trigger Cemetery, lay about two miles southwest of this site near Leaday on a bluff overlooking Grape Creek east of Trap Crossing on the Colorado River. In the cattle drive days of the 1870’s, cowboys stopped at stores on both sides of the river, including the Trap store in Coleman County, and some of those buried there may have died in gunfights, by drowning, or of natural causes; according to James Padgitt, the graves perhaps also included children of pioneers and victims of Indian attacks, with burials dating from the early 1870’s or before, and the last burial was a Mexican ranch hand killed by a kick from an unruly horse. Archeological excavation and anthropological study found the remains of four infants, a small child, two young adults, and four middle-aged men. Coffey Cemetery stood in Concho County about four and a half miles northwest of this site on the original Rich Coffey Ranch. Rich Coffey moved from Georgia to Texas in 1862 and settled in Parker County, and after Indians were gone from this area in 1880 he built a rock house at the mouth of the Concho River; the family cemetery, about 100 yards southeast of that house, contained the graves of James A. Beddo and Arthur M. Gordon, identified by Coffey family sources as the husband of Rich Coffey’s daughter Ellen Margaret and her son from a later marriage to Addison Gordon. The Gann Family Cemetery, on the W.O. Gann Ranch in Concho County, stood on a bluff overlooking the Colorado River about two hundred yards from the old rock homeplace and about three and a half miles southwest of this site. It contained the graves of W.O. Gann, his wife, four children, a son-in-law, and a great-granddaughter. W.O. Gann was a prominent rancher and pioneer of this area, and his descendants continued to live and ranch here until Stacy Reservoir became a reality.
