The Officers and Directors of the Liberty Hill Cemetery Association wish to invite you to the 65th Annual Homecoming on June 4, 2017. Rain or shine please help us celebrate this special day in our community. The address is 16101 West Hwy 29.
The meal will begin at approximately 11am and will be catered by Mopsie’s Catering. The meal will consist of bar-b-cue brisket, sausage, beans, coleslaw, condiments and tea. The cost for this all you can eat plate meal is $12.00 per plate. This year in honor of the 65th anniversary dessert will be provided for the first 350 individuals. The Association would like to thank Beck Funeral Home for sponsoring this dessert for our 65th anniversary. Please, along with your appetite remember to bring tables and chairs as ours have become very limited.
An important part of homecoming is the reading of those having passed since our last homecoming. For many this is a part of the closure associated with the passing of a loved one. There are over 3400 burials in this community’s cemetery and as Liberty Hill continues to grow so will our cemetery.
This year we are pleased to have several guest speakers. Williamson County Precinct 2 Commissioner Cynthia Long, Presiding Judge of the Third Administrative Judicial Region Judge Billy Ray Stubblefield and Joe Bryson a descendent of one of the cemetery’s founding families will be speaking. Our future and our past will be sure to be covered by these guest speakers. Gary Spivey and his daughter Kandice Wright who have been bringing us pictures and knowledge of Liberty Hill’s history will also provide pictures on display from years past of “old” Liberty Hill. Extra pictures may be available for those interested. History is often lost in a community without the dedication of individuals interested in its preservation. If you have questions about Liberty Hill’s history this a great place to get answers.
Our musical talent will be provided by Cade Baccus. For this special occasion a small ensemble will be playing with him for your entertainment. Daughters Maelynn and C’Lee will be singing with him again this year and this family provides entertainment for all ages. Baccus is a resident of the Liberty Hill area and has been singing, playing, and writing Country & Western style music for the past decade. Cade can often be found performing bluegrass, rockabilly and honky-tonk music with his band, The Sawdust Stompers on weekends. He also plays gospel and children’s music at churches, schools and daycares in and around his hometown.
We will also have books available for purchase. These books have history of the Liberty Hill Cemetery as well as history about Liberty Hill. The books “Culture of the Shin Oak Ridge Folk” by J. Gordon Bryson, Recollections and Observations of Judge C. L. Chance as told to his son Joseph E. Chance and the Liberty Hill Cemetery Book of Burials will be available for purchase. The proceeds will benefit the Liberty Hill Cemetery Association.
