The Texas Spirit Quest
is a series of Caches
placed by many individuals, near cemeteries and historic
sites in hopes of paying respect to the many pioneer
ancestors that have ‘walked’ before us. There are hundreds of
cemeteries in the rural communities across Texas. This series
will introduce you to many of them. The cache pages will
provide a virtual history tour of the cemeteries, tombstones
and local lore.
While out exploring the many backroads and highways here in West
Texas I came across this old cemetary out in the middle of nowhere.
I do enjoy the history and the knowledge of past lives and towns. I
hope this location will get ya'll to enjoy it
to.
LUTHER, TEXAS. Luther, on Farm Road 846 in
north central Howard County, was named for its first postmaster,
Luther F. Lawrence. The town's post office dates from 1909. Between
1936 and 1947 the population grew from five to ninety and the
number of businesses from one to three. By 1966 the population had
risen to 335. In 1980 Luther had lost its post office, but the
population remained steady at 335 in 1990 and 2000. One of Howard
County's oilfields, the Luther Southeast, is located near the
town.
Congrats to
