Oxford Cemetery
(1/4 Mile East)
The Oxford community was founded in 1880 when confederate veteran A.J. Johnson came to Llano County and laid out the townsite. In 1881, a burial ground was established near this site for the use of the families of Oxford. Burials date from 1883, although some of the graves that were moved from a neighboring cemetery bear earlier death dates. Among those interred there are the town's founder, A. J. Johnson (1832-1912); and James R. Moss (1843-1924), who captained the Packsaddle Mountain Fight, an 1873 battle that drove raiding Indians out of the Llano county.
Marker is at the intersection of State Highway 16 and County Road 113, on the right when traveling north on State Highway 16.
