Caudle Cemetery Project & Reunion News
1997-2009
Caudle Cemetery - gate on left

Report on the 2009 Caudle Reunion in Mt. Vernon has been submitted by Dan Caudle and Shonda Jenkins. Read it here. Selected pictures will be posted on this website in the near future.


This site is provided for descendants of the James Caudle family who moved to the Republic of Texas in 1841 and other families who have members buried in the Caudle Cemetery in Erath County, Texas. These families include Atkins, Caudle, Clayton, Denton, Follis, Harman, Houk, Junell, Langston, Lawson, Petty and Warren known to have kin buried there. I hope descendants will help support the Caudle Cemetery Project, as keeping the cemetery in good shape will require at least an annual effort. The project started officially in 1997 and completed its first official milestone Saturday, October 20, 2001. At that time a group of more than 100 attended the dedication of the Texas Historical Commission marker just inside the gate to the cemetery.

The photo below of my great-grandfather Joseph Harrison Caudle was taken about 1901. His first wife Celia Jane Petty is buried in the old Caudle Cemetery. The photo was given to me by Joseph T. Richardson, a researcher of  Mary Frances Dutton. She was J. H. Caudle's second wife. The photo is on his genealogy website along with research of that family.

The pastel drawing below is of my great grandfather's brother Marcus Newton Caudle and his wife Amanda Gillentine. It was almost lost to the world. On the back, the 12" x 18" drawing is dated 1867. The original is in bad condition. This image is the result of my digital photo and restoration.
