Beguin-Opitz Cemetery
Hitchcock, TexasCoordinates: 29.355031, -95.030963
This tiny cemetery is hidden and forgotten in the small wooded area just north of the bayou and Highway 6 at FM 2004. It has been so many years since I was there, I had forgotten about it. I was recently (2018) told that there are no longer any stones but they were there as recently as the 1970s when I saw them. Unfortunately, that old bayou floods from time-to-time and it has claimed much bigger items than grave stones.
