    Comments: 
    The cemetery has only recently come to be known by its current name. Originally it was known as the German Methodist Cemetery, after the German Methodist Church of Vox Populi. The church was disbanded and the building sold and moved to Columbus for use as a private residence. The Lehrer Memorial Methodist Church, named after William K. and Dorothy Lehrer, who were members and benefactors, took over management of the cemetery in the 1970s.
    Photographs of the entrance, cross and tombstones of this cemetery were taken by Melinda Ramsey and may also be seen at Colorado County Cemetery Photographs

Live Oak Cemetery

  • Location: on the north side of FM 2434, near its intersection with County Road 222
  • Earliest known year of death: 1888
  • Racial mix: all white
  • Surveyed by Bill Stein in 1988
  • Number of known burials to date: 75

To the right are Leona Wagley and her son, Vernon, as I caught them in their work clothes. They have been taking great care of this cemetery since Vernon moved back to the county in 2000. There is no association for the cemetery. If you would like to help with this project, contact me and I will get your message to the Wagleys.

It is with deep regret that I note the death of Vernon Wagley on August 1, 2007. Live Oak Cemetery will not be the same without his loving care. DA
