STALEY CEMETERY
.
Earliest date of death recorded is that of Bernice Davis, daughter
of W. T. and L. C. Davis, June 11, 1890. Also, the death of Ardis Laura
(Roney) Greene, with the date of 2890 only on the marker. The interment
of one of Brown County's most interesting pioneers, is that of Col. William
"Bill" C. Anderson. Known as "Bloody Bill Anderson," he was born
February 7, 1840 in Missouri; died in Brown County, November 1, 1927.
"Bloody Bill," was reported to be a member of the famous Quantrell guerrillas.
He settled in the Salt Creek community in 1863. The log house where he
lived is still standing near the Brownwood Regional Airport.
This property was deeded for the Staley Cemetery by George W. Staley,
in 1908. "Said acreage to be used for a grave yard and for no other
purpose."
