Add PhotosThis old lost cemetery is located at the end of the Spanish Bluff Road where it at one time crossed the Angelina River. It is located on private property and is now a part of a hunting club. Old records indicate that it was a family cemetery with Melihior Mansolo,the patriarch of the family, being buried there in 1861. According to the old folks of the area, at one time it was a very large cemetery with many old graves. However in the 1930's, loggers desecrated this holy land by throwing the headstones in the Angelina River to clear the land and cut down the trees. In the 1970's there was only one headstone of Stephen Richards remaining. He was half bother to Guadalupe Arriola who was married to Theodora Mansolo, daughter of Melihior. The Catholic Church death records indicate five burials, but there were many other unrecorded burials in this cemetery.
