Notes:

WCHC’s Vol I, pg 1 per Martha Schrock 1974…”Located three miles NE of Walburg along Willis Creek. The last time it was found the stones had been broken up to make a fire ring.” [For unknown reasons, WCHC did not put this cemetery on their 1999 map.] Additional info Paula Logan & Linda Howard: “There have been many attempts to locate this cemetery, but the stones are now probably covered by dirt and debris. We were able to locate the well for the Ake School House that was also along the creek as well as carvings by the school children in the rock along the creek.”

NOTE: On Find-A-Grave (different death date 1870) & the WCHC’s list of increments in Old Georgetown/San Gabriel Cemetery – William Ake, Sr 1790-1879 is listed on Scenic Dr. In this AKE Cemetery in Walburg there is a William Ake, Sr. Jan 25, 1815-Sept 27, 1879 is listed–same name and death year–two different locations.
