Maxdale Cemetery

Texas · United States · Execution site

An old man with a limp is described among the graves, said to have been the caretaker. Getting there means crossing a small iron bridge.

Maxdale Cemetery in Texas is old, remote, and reached across a small iron bridge.

The figure described in the burial ground is an elderly man who walks with a limp. Local account holds that he was the caretaker, which would make him one of the few people in this archive still doing a job nobody asked him to keep doing.

The bridge has its own reputation and its own instructions. Go at night, stop on the bridge, and switch the engine off.

What is supposed to follow is why the bridge is better known than the cemetery.

It is a single lane iron bridge on a country road. Stopping on it in the dark is a genuinely poor idea for reasons that have nothing to do with the caretaker, and the cemetery is a working burial ground belonging to local families.
