Buffalo-Ebony Cemetery

According to oral tradition, this cemetery began when two sheep herders camping in the area died and were buried there. The oldest marked grave is that of area resident William R. Yankee, dating to 1882. Frank and Mary Crowder bought the land in 1889, and Mary later donated the burial site as a community cemetery for Buffalo and Ebony residents. Area pioneers and veterans are buried there, and during the 1940s the graves of three Reynolds family members were moved there after the land containing their original grave sites became part of Camp Bowie.
