Coffey Cemetery

HACKBERRY, LAVACA COUNTY, TEXAS

This old family cemetery is not fenced and only two broken markers containing five names remain. The four deaths on the markers occurred between 1868 and 1875.

The Coffee Cemetery is 8.8 miles north of Hallettsville directly off Hwy 77. The markers are on the left on the Lake Robinson property, about 100 yards from the gate toward the northwest.
